WWIM Posted October 13, 2015 Report Posted October 13, 2015 Some months ago I reviewed for IPMS-USA the Master Box set of British soldiers from WWI. I have now paired them with a Mk.A Whippet Tank (Emhar, 1:35 scale). The old Emhar Whippet kit was enchanced some with the Photo etched set from Airwaves. The diorama is entitled "No Man's Land, Western Front, 1918"
Greyhound Posted October 13, 2015 Report Posted October 13, 2015 Joe - This is a very good build! It looks dark, dirty and miserable just like a WW-1 scene should look like. These old EMHAR kits are decent kits that cost a lot less than current and expensive WW-1 kits. I have a full set of these kits buried somewhere in the stash and after seeing this it makes me want to dig them out!
ghodges Posted October 13, 2015 Report Posted October 13, 2015 Gotta agree...those guys look like they've been in the trenches. Nice! GIL
WWIM Posted October 14, 2015 Author Report Posted October 14, 2015 Thanks Dannie and Gil. I was certainly going for the dark and dirty look of No Man's land. The desperation is on their faces. BTW, you'll notice I also opened the top hatch of the Whippet (not easy with the plastic so thick there) so that I could put a figure there and connect the tank and crew into the vignette with the soldiers. I wanted to create the sense that they were moving forward as a unit. Thanks again for the kind comments.
