How Long Does An Anorexic Live

Panzerkampfwagen VI Ausf. E Tiger I Late Version Italy 1944

After reading "The Italian campaign as seen by Germans 1943 1945" by Daniele Guglielmi I got the inspiration for this diorama set in Italy in '44 near Forlì.

The Tigre is the Tamiya 89566 and is far from good; Zimmerit kit is free and I wanted to play it with a dedicated set of reproducing the Tamiya Zimmerit on a sheet of paper that is cut out and pasted on the parties concerned. NOT RECOMMENDED. Much better reproduce the Zimmerit with stucco or with a pyrography. lacks the hull of the support side of the wings and saw that I had not wanted to play them again in plasticard, also missing the lower supports of the tracks on the turret of Commons, the kit provides only the top ones. Also missing all the great Paolone iposcopi fortunately it has to sell.
to improve the kit I used the tracks Friulmodel ATL-06, a metal Jordi Rubio barrel and an old set of photogravures dedicated at Tiger that I've used to improve the grills of the engine. Furthermore, with photogravures of recovery I wanted to create small changes pitched building on some photos:

As for the camouflage I wanted to play a chariot of Schwere Pz Abt. 504 and then using a classic three-tone glazes of Humbrol 94, sand throughout the half, 160 (red brown) and 105 (middle green). The tracks have received a base instead of 98 Humbrol oil washes with ocher and brown dick van, the wagon has also received several washes in addition to the irreplaceable Mig pigments to "amalgamate" the chariot to the ground.
The house is totally self-made balsa wood and cork:

The land has been reproduced by mixing together stucco wall, PVA glue, water, aquarium gravel and Mig pigments while the grass is that produced by Mininatur.
The figures are from the MB except that the commander is the Tamiya box while the animals come from the now unavailable Livestock Tamiya kit, were painted in enamels, except that the flesh was painted with the specific set dell'andreacolors

good model to all
