Right. Now I can promise this is the last #WorkInProgress photo of this #diorama. I'll get to shoot the final photos in January. For all intents and purposed my rocket launcher is now finished, no more silly ideas for this project 😅

A colleague (a designer) who's into WH40k said that his only/main complaint is the low saturation of the crew's winter gear. I had the same idea or hunch, Pyry just phrased it soo much better. Comes with the competence, I know 😄

The rocket launcher #diorama after several layers of muds and snow. I think the key change was the application of "black mud" behind the rack to represent rocket-soot -stained ground.

Some more tweaking and a few puddles are needed, otherwise it's looking quite miserable. As it should be. Blech!

Slow progress with the #diorama, as I somehow covered the base edges with styrene sheet, trimmed to shape, sealed over days with white glue. Topsoil got some ballast on glue -treatment m.

Yesterday I hid the criminally ugly corners with L-shaped styrene bits, primed all and blasted some brownish over the ground, sides painted dark grey as the last step. Next up: mud and stuff to improve the looks.

The 1:35 rocket launcher #diorama attempt progresses slowly. The surface needs more texture: sand/gravel, mud, and patches of snow to justify the partial winter camo.

It'll be weird but with the primer this already looks much better. And that is a huge relief 😅

Finished the launcher frame's fake wood #OilPainting yesterday and left the thing to dry in the (unheated) sauna for a week or two, in its box to protect it from dust.

Attempting the knots and branch weaves didn't work out too well in these narrow-as-crap pieces, but I'll try again somewhere else.

Now I've got to finish the rockets and maybe attempt to come up with a scratchbuilt scenic base for any of this to make any sense 😅

Most of the hobby time since the last toot/post/whatnot has been spent on swearing at PE bits. I lack the optimal tools, so they ended up wonky at best.

Painting may hide some crimes on them, I hope! On the other hand the #OilPainting woodlike effect on the plastic may habe worked. We'll see better when the paint has dried.
