The rest of the build was pretty basic, I did have a hard time trying to get the right look on the bridge though. I eventually used a brown-grey mix of paint, and several different washes before a quick dry brush to build the color back up. I then used several colors of dry pigments and added a few boxes for interest. I used an IKEA picture frame for the base and Realistic Water for the canal. I waited until I got to Virginia to glue the vehicles down to prevent unwanted damage. The Open category was very well represented, and the brdige did not place, though I really didn't expect too much out of it. The competition was a great way to force me to finish though!

Very nice. Very atmospheric and I am really reminded of the scene from saving Private Ryan. Great work and congrats on entering the competition and creating some really interesting pieces. Are the winners psoted anywhere?
ReplyDeleteThanks! Wargames Illustrated posted some of the winners on their Facebook page, but They should have a full report up on their website in a week or two, followed by an article in the magazine by October.
DeleteVery nice finished piece! Like Cameron said, it really does have the feel of the scene from the film.
ReplyDeleteThanks Dai! Now I just need to get it to Josh without it getting broken.
DeleteLove it,but a bit more weathering on the tracks and motorbike tyre would add to it ��
ReplyDeleteYeah, I was in a rush to get it done for the competition. I'll go back and add some stuff to it I think.
DeleteSuch a lovely piece of diorama work!
