STALINGRAD Bolt Action Mega Battle!
Grudinin Mill Chimney by 4Ground.
When I saw this kit, I immediately saw it’s potential to add a bit of scale to my Stalingrad battles. I really couldn’t wait to get it home and on the table top.
The 4Ground kits are great as they are, but I wanted to give mine the full treatment to make it stand out on the tabletop.
I assembled mine using super glue and activator spray. This method is only for the experienced or “Brave” hobbyist. I then filled in the gaps with “No Nonsense, Fine Surface Filler”, cleaned of the excess with a dry washing up sponge. After the filler had dried, I applied a second layer to a few areas that needed a bit more.
I then made a wash 50% Vallejo German Camo Beige WWII (70.821) and 50% water, I applied this to the whole model, sponging of the excess, and gently drying satisfactory areas with an hair dryer. This took less than an hour. A particular bonus of the 4Ground kits is that they are pre-coloured and take paint. This technique will not work on other kits that are not primed or pre-painted.
I was really pleased with the end result, and felt almost like I had cheated as it was so quick and easy to do. Now I have a fantastic landmark for my “Stalingrad Mega Battle”.
