Panzergruppe Tarraco scenery: the Panzodrom
Re: Panzergruppe Tarraco scenery: the Panzodrom
Place de la ville Saint Michel
Hi again chaps
While another group member of the PzGr. Tarraco is finishing two super detailed 15cm sfF18 (i will post a complete report once they are finished), two of us have designed and build the main square of the future French town that will be built in the Panzodrom, with a working fountain and lamps.
So here you are a little step by step
The main square is 58x58cm.
This is the fountain
the work to made her functional begins
the water pump, with a piece of plastic that will glued inside to close the upper part of the statue base so there will be not losing of water pressure
First test
These little holes are there so the water can recirculate, they are invisible while under water
first test with the assembly done
now the deco components of the square. They are made with polystyrene and real bricks
the day that the other members of our club ‘meet’ the square
the tiles are too from clay
this was a really laborious work, to glue the tiles one by one…
the next deco component, the public benches, made with a 3d printer and painted with acrylics and oils
primed
the metal parts are painted with Tamiya gun metal and black, and then with black oils, and the wood parts are painted with Tamiya flesh and then with oils.
The benches in different painting stages
And finished
Meanwhile, the work on the square continues
The land for the gardens is made with pine bark, pulverized
First light test
After the tiles are finished, we protected the work with varnish, so the weathering will no harm them too much
Applying the grout to the tiles
Weathering
some damage to one ot the gardens, some bullet holes and an AP impact
And the lampposts, here we are following the same technic used on the bridge, so they can be removed in case of necessity
This is all the work done until today, we have only to finish the lamps bases and then we will use magnets to secure them to the ‘gardens’
A short video so you can see the water running

best regards!

I've run out of superlatives. Every post looks better and better, and I get greener and greener with envy.

Re: Panzergruppe Tarraco scenery: the Panzodrom
hi again chaps!
some new advances on the Pz.Gr. Tarraco scenery
we are making several small 'scenes' with figures build up on them, so we will put them on the ground to achieve some sort of dynamism.
time for some US forces, as we have several M1919 Browing MG, we built two of them in these little scenes in order to quick put them on place when necessary. the first one, with the gunners in fire position, and the second one, with the gunners on the run in the moment they were about to 'plant' the tripod mount and the gun.
the scene composition
the building up with rocks, stones, tree trunks, and ground, all mixed and fixed with carpenter's glues and water (as always)
after the ground is dry and rock solid, we glue the figures in place
here the second scene
when all the ground will be dry and hard, we will put some green on these scenes, unfortunatelly, I thouthg too late to put the 'green' beforehand , like in the next scene, using some strips of artificial grass...
in this new scene will be a 7,5cm PaK40 concealed behind a trunk and some broken wooden fences
the gun already painted
the scene composition
with the turfs and shrubbery, tree trunk, rocks and figure's bases glued in place (not the gun)
covering the shell with the everlasting compound mix of little stones, beach sand and real dirt and ground with diluted white glue
putting the gun and crew in place in order to get the marks on the ground, we will glue them next week, once the compound had dried.
stay tuned because we will use a lot of ammunition boxes for this gun and the 7 FlaK36 that will be really dazzling masterpieces! designed and built by a member of our club, made of real wood, they will be the most accurate and detailed models probably you have ever seen. I can¡t post pics yet, he is building up the catalog and instruction sheets for the assembly of every model, because he has a shop and they will be on sale soon...
that's all for now!
best regards and thanks for watching

This is by far the best battlefield in the world, the work you have put into every component is amazing. Thanks for all of the pics, they are a great tutorial for anyone who wants to build anything similar.
