Hi my friends!! Time for a little update. The base is finished and so is the little staff car
Now I just need to paint the figures and the accessories to finish the dio…

The water well is glued in place and a little static grass is applied around

Alter removing the excess y applied a dark wash to tone the green down a little.

The well

It looks like this when finished…

The staff car is also finished and ready for the base

Using balsa strips I did two planks to go over the passenger seat to hold and stabilize the stretcher in place…

The car is placed in the base but not glued until the figures are painted.

Well that’s for now, I’m starting the part I like the less, figure painting. hope you like it and the last stage of the dio coming soon!!!

Thanks!!

It's really coming together, Abdin! The masonry work looks awesome, very realistic and the converted ambulance is a nice touch!

Field mouse,
Wow, it looks great, I really love the well (are we going to see
some rope and a bucket attached)?
The car looks great, love the added planks of wood. Is the folded
down roof, the kit supplied one? I think (and it's just my opinion,
but I would love to see you scratch build a new one out of tissue
paper dipped in white glue, with some "Chart tape" for the straps.
I think it would make it look 10 times better, again just my opinion.
It would give it more of a realistic look, you might even give it
some wear and tear damage?
Again, love what you have done. It looks really great.
Shawn

Hi to all, well it is finished at last!! Here are the final steps of the corner dio build. I want to thank Monroe Perdue for the base they gave me so I hope they like my work with it. so lets start.
Here are the figures in paint progress

Here is the figure that was the most difficult to paint because of his outfit ,I used the verlinden stencil to cut a piece of masking tape to do the red crosses on the front and back of it

This is the result after painting other details as the belt across the cross

The back and side

The helmet cross and arm band had to be painted by hand

Finally his medic bag was painted, the red cross is the only decal used from the kit

The completed figures

After the figures where finished I made a new roof tarp from tissue paper, the belts and buckles are pieces of photoeched Leftovers a great improvement over the stock one!!!

Now the flag for the front of the vehicle, again tissue paper painted white, the red cross painted using the verlinden stencil and very thin cooper wire for the ropes..

Here it is attached to the car…

And finally the completed dio

Well that’s the end of it, I hope you like it as much as I do and thanks to all that followed me on this project!!

Wow,
Nicely done... I love it.
The figures are great and the new roof is spectacular.

Hi Abdin.

That is a great looking little diorama you put together there. The walled in well looks great, and the vehicle is just perfect in size for this corner. I was wondering though if it is not to late to add just one more little thing if you have it in your stash. That would be a bucket with some water, with a rope around the handle leading to the crank on the well, like they pulled up water for the wounded guys. But it still looks great. And I like the way you did the red cross on the sanitater.

Really a nice job! Very well laid out and nicely done.

Great result on this diorama.

Three individual stories (the three groups of soldiers) all add together to one very telling story. Nice work.

 

[Iron Mike]

Excellent work, Abdin! I really love the way everything came together!

 

[Ted]

Great scene. The converted ambulance is the perfect vehicle for this little base. I can't wait to see these vignettes all together.

 

[Kreighshoer]

very good work abdin! the figures look way cool and the whole dio tells an awesome story!

 

[TREEMENDUS]

Abdin

Great result. The composition and the colour throughout looks well balanced. I love the scene you have created.

@ Shawn,Gary,Terry,John,Mike,Ted,Laura,Johny and Ant

thanks you very much for your words!!
I'm glad you like it, I'm adding a couple of missing details as recommended by Shawn and other guys that are missing from the scene as I wanted to finish it on time and didn't had the time to add, so again thank to you all!!
