Kinda off topic, though not quite - Vietnam War Diorama, tons of finished pictures
Well, while I was waiting for my LONG HLJ order that took forever to arrive, I built this little diorama just to see what building military models were like. It's actually quite cool, though not as exciting to me as a nice glossy WRX!
This is the 1/35 Dragon kit. Nothing special, I primed the figures with Krylon sandable grey, and handbrushed Americana and Apple Barrel Acrylics. Took me a while to figure out how to lay down shadows with acrylics as I had never previously done a military kit before. The walls of the hootch were made from cardboard and covered with drywall filler. Bricks showing through the cracked concrete were cut from a cereal box. The wall was primed with Krylon grey primer and airbrushed with Americana acrylics, using the salt weathering method to create the realistic chipped paint effect. Wall was further weathered with washes, a thinned paint soaked paper towel, and pastels. The thatched roof was made from broom straw and painted. The groundwork is a mixture of white glue, sand, and dirt. The dirt was painted with a red brown mix of Americana acylics to simulate the reddish brown soil of Vietnam. Various details such as the weeds were made from fishing line. The rice spilling out of the containers is just baking soda. Oh yeah, and the floor of the hootch was flocked to resemble fine straw. Blurry War Photo  Look there! VC!  Face Off  Love this shot Back of house  Top shot  Top shot 2  Side shot  Side shot 2  Back shot  To keep this on topic heres a pic of my crappy evo 6

Thanks for your comments, appreciate the time you took to check out my work. About the Evo6, it was black testors modelmaster acryl with a clearcoat of future floor wax.
If all goes well to plan, you'll be seeing a shiny WRX STi on this forums in a week.
