Banished to the Eastern Front Diorama-The Begining

Ok thanks for all your comment Fellow modelers ..... now I'm caught up with all my constructing on the foam part other than figuring out the backside of command post ..... which I had on the shelf and a friend of mine really wanted it so I sold it to Him ...... another is already ordered ....

I've plastered in the craters ... I will be adding a top lip area around them .....

This is a shot of the tunnel leading from command post to the APC (Armored Personnel Carrier ) For Ed .....

Ok time to work on the Bridge .... Has Anyone seen that confounded Bridge ???

I need to ask a question ..... Should I just continue with each model on this topic or start a new one for each one ???

Ok so now it's time for some styrene to go on the Dio .....

I built the bridge some time ago .... not a bad job ... I even added the cuts that were on the box art

It's my belief that the pontoons should look like this .....

And not like this ...... So there is a lot of sanding filing & scraping going on to remove this seam in the middle all the way around the pontoon .....

Thanks Luiz ... I do wood fairly well but have lots of trouble with other stuff ...... In a former life I was a carpenter so wood is something I know ...

I used an acrylics oil set, that included a book called acrylics for dummy's ...... I kind of glanced through the book ..... wood is easy to paint .... especially if the styrene has a nice wood gain already.....
