When Hell Freezes Over
This is another diorama that was submitted as a featured on the old site. It was built in 2006 and was very well received when displayed at at DragonCon '06.
I used the old Tamiya Tiger I and a figure from Firestorm Models "Retreat from Stalingrad" release. The base was scratch built, main trees are wire armature with smaller ones made from twigs. The 'frozen' water in the pond/lake is paraffin (Paraffin Ice technique ). Snow is from Woodland Scenics. The injured soldier is a Hornet head with a rough body form under the tarp.
Some of the photos here are of the work in progress, photographed prior to final snow being added, paraffin ice being poured and figure placement.
