Off the Work bench!
This week was all about assembling the various bits and pieces to complete the diorama. All in all it went together pretty well after some careful thought as to what should be placed into position first. It wouldn’t have been the first time I’ve boxed myself into a corner but on this occasion I managed to avoid any such dilemmas.
Not a great deal to add in terms of narrative as I think I covered most aspects of the build in previous “On The Work Bench” posts. Will be interesting to see what, if any, feedback I receive when it receives its first public outing. If nothing else my mum likes it and thats good enough for me!
The aim of the diorama, as mentioned in the first post of this sequence, was to depict a small group of British soldiers making their way through the French/Belgium farming countryside. Hopefully I managed to convey that.
Now on to the next project(s). Still have a few WW1 items to do to complete the series but think I need a change of period in the coming weeks too so still deciding what next is on the agenda.

Pure excellence my friend. I almost feel like I’m marching along with them. Your attention to detail is incredible and the photography is also top notch. If your mum is anything like mine she’d like it even if it was a bowl of steaming poop. Haha. Bless em aye? Keep up the good work man.

Thank you. I tried to put a lot of the things I learnt from the other builds into it plus a few new things and hopefully it worked.

Lovely work. I especially like the subtle layered weathering on the buildings’ various textures.

Thank you. It took several colours and washes to get there but I think it turned out ok but like most of us I’m my own worst critic!
