I know all the trendy modellers finished lot of kits during lockdown but being contrarian I worked on lots of kits up to paint ready stage but managed to not finish a thing.

About 2 weeks ago I finally finished something being the 8 barrel flak gun kit from Das Werk. It’s mounted on a small Ikea photo base with some DAS ground work topped with brown weathering powder mixed with PVA to give a flexible slightly cracked surface.

Grass and some Flowers from Gamer’s Grass rounded out the base work. As usual artistic advice from my wife ensured it looked random and natural.

The diorama/vignette is based on photos in a NUTs and Bolts book with photos of this and other Flak guns etc from a Moscow outdoor museum taken back on the 80s or 90s. More recent photos on the net

show a bit more care being taken now but I prefer the rawness of the original photos.
