One of my latest Dio's. Set in the pacific theatre of war Hope you like

As you see the kit is a REVELL 1/35 and is basic and easy to put together Even for my small mind.



first was the black and white undercoat



The next step was dark sand high lighted buff, the flat brown high light with yellow and Russian green high light also with yellow



Then I placed a light overcast of buff and pin wash the recesses and high lights on the raise parts on the model



The base was a piece of wood, then foam card to make the shape The sand was a mixture of plaster of paris and normal sand mixed together The palm trees were made from wire and false plastic leaves cut into palm leaf shapes The idea I got from youtube The Japanese figures are from masterbox and Tamiya



The foliage is made from plastic fishing tank vegetation and other plastic leaf foliage and painted various greens and the US figures are from Dragon

Very nicely done! The trees, plants and beach are convincing. Would love to see a few more detail pics if you have them.
