Great modelling, looks very realistic in black & white.

Very well done! Top shelf modeling. I agree that the natural poses of the figures really make the scene stand out.

It’s the little things like this that really make the huge chunks of metal a few mile back stand out either at a club or a show

Excellent job on the motorbike. Great diorama shot both in colour and in black and white. I wish I could do figures like you can as they make such a difference when shooting images of the tanks etc.

On request of some respected members on here, I made a little tutorial about painting German Camo Uniforms.
Check the painting and weathering section and you‘ll find it there.
It ain‘t that hard to do, painting the little fellows….
Always be sure to get well detailled figures, which makes painting slightly easier.

1. "All numbers need to be put on one by one." Did you say PITA?
2. " larger pics...you can see every mistake made, even the mud on the tires looks less good" I'll take your "less good" any day! I'm jealous.
3. I wish there were some way to get B&W photos a bit more fuzzy. I tried with Photoshop, but no luck. Sure, one can do effects to make the photo "old fashioned," but the effects of a B&W from the early '40s reprinted over time...no can do. Nonetheless, I like your creating the B&W photos.

Worked almost all afternoon on the sidecar.
I am satisfied with the results of the complete bike.
In real, the muddy effects looks far less dramatic than in the pictures, in these pics it looks like a bit "too" much.
But in real, it ain't at all!
Somehow my cellphone messes it al up a bit.
Tomorrow I will take some outdoor pics again at the Ostfront.
Anyway, here are some pics for now.

Damn, forgot the taillight on the sidecar's fender.
MG (which is made moveable BTW) needs some altering too
So a little work to do tomorrow.
Regards,
Rob.

With the sidecar it's amazing. Now you just need the goggled sidecar rider covered in mud and dust to complete it

These 3 guys are waiting to get fixed to mount the motorcycle:
It will be quite some work, legs/feet and hands need to be adjusted.
Maybe, if I can find a descent one, I will change the officers cap for a Stahlhelm, which in my opinion fits the overall look better.
We'll see.
