Hello fellow modelers,

To add more "life" to the D-Day scene I am currently working on (see diorama forum/June6 1942) I decided to add some sandbags to the DUCK. This is my first try sculpting. I used Tamiya miliput for making the sandbags. I have to say that although these are just some simple sandbags it took quite a while to get them to where they are now. I can only imagine how hard it is sculpting figures,...

Anyway, it was a great experience making them! I think they turned out quite alright! But please see yourself.

Comments/critisism/feedback is always welcome!

Cheers,
Heli

Those are very well done. Nice job

Gday Heli
These turned out alright!
They look good for scale and accuracy. Maybe the centre right one could be bulked up a little? Glad to hear you are trying your hand at some additions to your diorama...
Cheers

Hi Heli,

Those look really good. Nice one.

I envy people who are creative

I guess it would be hard to mess up the look of a sand bag (basically any shape) but have made some very convincing ones here. Nice work!

They look good to me, the only thing i will add and i don't know if you have or not already is to may be add a patern with a piece of material pushed onto them and then removed just an idea

Fine indeed, but I would also give it some pattern with gauze or something by simply pressing it on the putty.

I think your being modest.Those look great .
Instead of bulking out the middle sandbag how about a rip with sand ( C.A glue and plaster) spilling out to depict a little shrapnel damage?
Good job!
