Finally, I think I finished my 1/144 Ratte diorama.
I repainted the turret: The huge Nazi flag on it was not to my taste. To give back some interest to the turret, I painted the guns in grey and added an small anti-aircraft turret. I think the model is more pleasing to look at this way, and additional air defense makes total sense on a vehicle like this.
The ground was made mostly with sculpta-mold, but I used some 2 parts epoxy putty for the tracks marks.
It’s also the second time that I am using my little static-grass applicator and I like the result (its better than on my Panzerkampfwagen 35(t) diorama imo).
With the added figurines, the scene has a sense of scale now! That is so important in this case.
Enjoy the pictures!
Wow!
