Schweres Wurfgerät 41 im Vorfrühling - diorama
When I started on this model I mentioned that I got it as one of my farewell gifts when I last changed my job. A couple of cups of water had flown through river Vantaa since that, but the model was now done with the extra stuff brought by delusions of grandeur.
At a first glance the model was simple: a wooden frame, five guys, four rockets and their crates. It took a silly amount of time, not only because of the PE but also the unplanned scene base for the diorama. I had to admit it was much more impressive this way than as random pieces laid on a flat surface.
Photos
Below was, again, a couple of so-called better photos, or at least they were taken with an actual camera and edited more than just cropped. My white background caused some funny glitches with the snow and the winter uniforms when tweaking them in Krita.
What I intended to be a subtle little detail, the "rocket-scorched-earth" effect pleased me greatly, I was astonishingly happy with it in the end. It had taken a good few iterations, so it ought to have become at least acceptable.
Someone may have noticed that there were some unexpected differences between these and the last ones from last week. A funny thing happened after I had put the finished diorama into the kit's box and set the lid on carefully before leaving the box on a table.
One or both of our cats had done what cats do, running over the box and the three victims were the boss guy and the carriers. Two heads and three arms snapped off. I swore and fixed the bits, then set the Pacckiste onto the hands, but it didn't find as good a place as before.
