Verlinden Modeling Magazine Vol.10 No.1


The focus of this diorama is the German crew being rescued from a burning Panther tank. The kit used was the Italeri Panther A. modified with zimmerit made from Squadron white putty. The putty was sculpted with an exacto blade and the Tamiya zimmerit tools. Painting of the tank was done with Tamiya acrylics, washed in oils. Drybrushing was done with Humbrol earthtones. The figures are all extensively modified DML items, some with 'Hornet' heads. The dead horse is a modified Historex item. All of the figures and the dead horse were painted with oils. The fire was sculpted from Milliput, realistically painted with Humbrol red, orange, and yellow. The smoke was made by soaking shredded cotton balls in a solution of water, white glue, and flat black acrylic paint. After soaking thoroughly, the cotton was squeezed-out and allowed to dry a bit, then formed into position from the engine to the tree, after drying, various shades of black and gray were airbrushed into some areas to achieve a realistic color.
