Frostige Bescherung - WIP Part 3

I got some more progress to mention. I finished the wintercamouflage for the hornisse. I used Pelikan Plaka-Color and "Deckweiss" - sorry i dont know this kind of color in english. We normaly use this with watercolor. Looks a little bit like toothpaste.
I simply diluted both colors with water and applied it with a brush.
Finaly i secured all of it with a coat of Matt-varnish. Over this i started with streaking products from AK-Interactive - this is still in progress.

I also managed to start with the base. This is simple styropor with plaster of paris over it. After drying i sanded it smooth and glued some shoveled snow, also made of plaster beneath it. Next ist painting-time. At the end, i will glue some small glass-snow on it to gave it a snowy look

Frostige Bescherung - WIP Part 1

Hey Folks, its about time for a new projekt!

This time it gets realy frosty, so take out your umbrella!
It will be my first attempt to model a winter-scenic diorama. We will see, what happens ;)

First of all, i choose my Parts - iam tending right now, but it could like this:

The Vehicles are clear by now, but iam just thinking about the figures. Sure by now is:

Dragon SD.Kfz. 164 Hornisse
Trumpeter Soviet Armored Aerosan NKL 26
Dragon German Ski Troop
Dragon German Self-Propelled Gun Crew.
Friul Winterkette PrIII / IV


Iam thinking about a stationed Hornisse, who´s getting reeinforcements with some fuel und some ammunition by a captures Aerosan. All of this beneath a russian wood-house. My first line-up. The grey Hull is the Hornisse, the Styropor should be the Aerosan and the box symbolices the house.

This is my progress so far:

Keep up, Updates are comming soon!
