Hi again. I leave a resume of my last proyect. 

 

History: Normandy 44. A monastery is witnessing the return of German troops from the front. 
While some resting, others bury the fallen taking advantage of the site. 
Sorry for the quality of reporting but simply to show the spaces and the dynamics of the scene. 
There are still some figures and so much more but the main reading will be like this. 
The vehicle it will be a SdKfz 250-1 Neu from Dragon. I worked in the field tend to generate different levels 
in my opinion or try to soften the straight lines of the monastery.

The terrain texturing your base color and a wash. Still a few washes, dry brush in several areas pigments etc ... 
The wall with a base color and dry brush climb on top is still a few washes and dry brush. 
As for the grass once the painting process of the road / wall will work the same on the edges and sector
 of the cemetery and walk to various sectors with some references from Woodland Scenics. 
The monastery presented because I have not started with it. 

http://i1141.photobucket.com/albums/n600/lechu1973/Return%20to%20the%20monastery/IMG_0022.jpghttp://i1141.photobucket.com/albums/n600/lechu1973/Return%20to%20the%20monastery/IMG_0021.jpghttp://i1141.photobucket.com/albums/n600/lechu1973/Return%20to%20the%20monastery/IMG_0019.jpg

 Well what made ​​the day. Narrowing of the trails trying to remove the funnel in both sectors. 
I think it has been better and is good space for what must count as the width of the truck. 
Some work on Woodland pasture trying to give variety of color and volume to them. 
And several more washes on the treads on the ground and then general. 

http://i1141.photobucket.com/albums/n600/lechu1973/Return%20to%20the%20monastery/IMG_0027.jpghttp://i1141.photobucket.com/albums/n600/lechu1973/Return%20to%20the%20monastery/IMG_0026.jpghttp://i1141.photobucket.com/albums/n600/lechu1973/Return%20to%20the%20monastery/IMG_0025.jpg

 
 Well.... in between with one thing and another little by little. I have been giving more shape to this sector (cemetery). 
There are still some details to be added later as a cross of wood made ​​for the occasion, 
digging jacket hanging on the cross and some references at the vegetation will be asking in a while ... 
but I think that at least shows a little spirit of it. The Verlinden Tombstone only are presented for photos.

AFV Thanks for the support. 

I've taken a few days to try to rethink a bit the scene following the departure of 250. The idea is to put a Kettenkrad and these figures.

The figures are in the process as you will see as they suffered several modifications and several of them I have to rebuild the pants
or the arms in either case. The semi-assembled Kettenkrad this indeed. The idea is that the wounded arrived at the bike and while 
they are down the other driver and take a moment for a cigarette.
The driver of the motorcycle will have the pack of cigarettes in his right hand. 
The position of the injured and the help it is referential and may vary slightly.

Seeing the pictures I've edited this in photoshop. As you can see figures coming down from the bike to have this position
not point the other way and be confusing for especatador as all should go to the side of the monastery.

http://i1141.photobucket.com/albums/n600/lechu1973/Return%20to%20the%20monastery/2copy.jpg

I think the scene breathes better and has more air that was something that was lost with another vehicle.

Hope you like it and move on.

Well I've been working on the modification of a figure who is helping the wounded.

This figure was originally in the next position.

He replaced his legs by a set of Academy: Academy AC1377 September Infantry Battle of the Bulge

Based on references tankers uniforms of the time and trying to come close 
in my small way to this reference completely redone Alpine have all bottom pants and jacket.

So far this is the result. Separate figure for the wounded who also underwent changes as you can see in the previous post is in the process.

I am looking with real interest your project. I like very much the 'Multilevel' Idea. up2

Also figure positioning is ok, only doubt about if the neck on the photo above is too long.. umhh

 

And if possible I would like and suggest the teared pants with some blood on the leg, just as shown on the first image.

 

The Monastery is just a ruin ? what about a sharpshooter positioned somehow on the high part of the high part ?

maybe resting and smoking a cigarette on the round window… smile

Thanks for the support AFV I take note of your coments and suggestion
Well I was not very happy with the legs of the figure or the products you use. 
So after a long research I finally found this product in my country.

http://i1141.photobucket.com/albums/n600/lechu1973/Return%20to%20the%20monastery/FIG%20RETURN%20TO%20THE%20MONASTERY/IMG_3541.jpg

After I get all the way rthe primer I reworking of the same with the mini lathe and then with the Green Stuff. 
They also thicken the waist a little character is what made me realize that the pants look to big. 
While lacking some tweaks that let them leave the process in principle and in the personal and makes me happier than the last.

The results is excellent. I suggest you when it will be in the final stage to apply more pressure of the vehicle's tracks on the ground.

 

About the figure now it's perfect!
