IDF On Patrol - A 1/72 scale Diorama
The Soldiers and a Suspect.
Hi everyone,
I spent some time on the 1/72 scale figures from Caesar Miniatures for the scene. At first I was going for a different set from a French company called Model-Miniature.com. Unfortunately, although better miniatures with a cool dog to boot, they were not chronologically correct.
The Caesar Miniatures are nice and set in the right period, but they can come with a lot of flash and mold slip. I chose just 4 figures from a box of 40! The rest I through away!
Cleaned, patched up and under-coated.
A progress shot. The 1st figure is base coated. The 2nd is highlighted.
The painting was very straight forward. First, I went with the base colours. Then I gave it all a dark wash (a brown + black mix) and three highlights. The first highlight were the original base colours. The the next two highlights were progressively lighter colours.
Next post I will be posting work on the tank itself. Until then…
Farewell and stay safe.
