One of my most special projects, an Omaha beach diorama. Since I was a child I wanted to build a project like this. Today I show how I made this project from start to finish. This time there will be no Scale model vehicle but 5 figures instead!
In this video I will show you how I prepared, designed and build the entire project. I will focus on the main details and how I painted every part until I got this final result.

Me encantan éstas escenas donde se modifican y adaptan figuras comerciales para crear escenas únicas. Yo hago lo mismo. Muy bien trabajo. Como apunte te diría que quizás deberías integrar mas las figuras con el terreno, ensuciando las botas y partes del uniforme ya que están en contacto directo con la arena. Gran trabajo.

@notjustpanzer Ай бұрын

Muchas gracias por tu comentario. Modificar las figuras de dragon ha dado más quebradero de cabeza de lo esperado, pero el resultado es bueno. Le daré una vuelta a lo que comentas, quizás falte algo de integración con el terreno. Un saludo

Thanks for your comment.I had to make a greater push to the figures, cause the are the only characters there. Also painting 5 very similar figures it's not my cup of tea. But all in all I'm happy with the result. About historic side, it's hard to believe this kind of facts took place, even not so long ago.

Thanks, Joachim. Creating a simplified scene with limited scenography elements allowed me to focuse better in the painting, using a very similar palette too. Also I tried to create a realistic scene, away from the movie appearances we all are used to.

That is a fantastic job. Patience is key to great work that I don't have myself. The last time I painted any figures was the base colour and then a wash which doesn't always work. I do have trouble painting faces and flesh tones. I use a wash again of light rust for shadows on faces. Again it doesn't work right. Great job on that diarama scene.👍🇭🇲🦘🐨✌️

@notjustpanzer 21 күн бұрын

Thanks for your comment! In the past I tried the some of the techniques you say. But figures need to be painted with different techniques than scale models. Acrylic painting has to be excuted with more patience but results are really good.

The second dragon figures are not a set for the "Omaha beach" and similar amphibian assault as the another box, that figures are created with the Pointe du Hoc assault to localize and destroy the 155mm canyons on a sea cliff a few hours before the D day operation. That is probably the reason of the more static poses.

@albertr.1185 Ай бұрын

And of course, amazing job with these sets, love the details and the overall work on the diorama.

@notjustpanzer Ай бұрын

Yes you're right. The fit better in a scene looking upwards. I bought them because I wanted to include some other figures to increase variation (also two of these rangers wear the assault vest, so they fit correctly for a 1st/29th infantrymen as well). But the main reason why I didn't use them it's due to their sculpting, in my opinion their level of detail is lower, 29th figures come more detailed. Also there is a noticeable size difference, ranger figures are taller.

@albertr.1185 Ай бұрын

@@notjustpanzer that's right, the dragon kit (are pre gen2) gen2 is a new sculpt details and variation of the old dragon models references. The gen2 on that reference only include a new sprue with new heads and weapons. The 29th figures are better on detail so far. It's a very detailed job you did here.
