This was a project I ve wanted to make for a long time,and when I could afford buying the figure kit from Masterbox I decided it was time to get it made.
I had the helmet for several years. It is a surface find from the old Ypres battlefield, picked up by a local farmer. The top of it was long gone and it is ridden with bullet holes. On the inside of it,in the rolled edge there is still a piece of lead stuck, a real piece of history.
With the WW1 diorama kit from Masterbox I had what I needed to "improve"this relic a bit.
The model kit comes with a section of a trenchsystem, so I cut the lenght I needed and began cleaning up the parts. With the quality of the production this process didn`t take long and soon also the figures had been assembled and made ready for paint.
In the kit comes a lot of extras,such as helmets, weapons etc, so I had an easy job making the trench a bit busy and cluttered. I wanted some S.R.D bottles and searched around a while for something I could use when I spotted the sprue from the figures. The attachment points can be cut off , have the mold line removed and voila,bottle, so easy :D 
For the painting I used Vallejo Model Color and made random mixes of the shads I wanted. Weathering and shading was done using oils,washes and pigments, and again I have realized that my flesh painting skills sucks and needs improving.
I also had a coil of LED lights laying around and decided to just glue it in place inside the helmet so it doubles as a cozy lamp.
After a few evenings of painting things were ready to be put together and final pics taken. Unfortunately the light wasn`t the best so some of the pics are a tad blurry, but I will get that re-done the next sunny day:)

Im fairly happy with the result, and the helmet sure looks impressive in the display cabinet now:)

As I have more diorama projects lined up and not room for it all I am open to offers on this one if you wish to have it displayed in your collection, just contact me with a serious offer:)

Viking Church

Gol stavechurch stavkirke wooden church viking church hov viking kirke scandinavia skandinavia vikings hobbyhistorica yngve sjødin sjodin inka holmes ho scale church unique gift art one of a kind
Some time ago I bought this wood model kit in 1/87 scale, the "Gol"Stavechurch made by Dusek. The kit has lots of thin parts which had a tendency to warp from the moist in the PVA glue I used, and sometimes the fit wasn`t the best, but after a good few evenings I had the construction done and the church ready to paint.
It is an impressive model and I was tempted to leave it unpainted, but in the end I decided to put it in a diorama.
I did some small modifications to it and used my imagination a bit,i.e mixing runes and crosses. On each side of the church is two sacred stones, sat up long time before the site was chosen for a church. The church has 3 entrances, each with a rune above.
One has the Life rune ,one has the rune for Sun/Victory and the last has a Death rune.
The pathways leading to each door is lined with rocks,lighter color to the "Sun" and "Life" door and dark rocks to the "Death" door,which is also the side with a forest.
On the wall above the sun entrance I ve painted the Vegvisir rune.
​

The size of it is W 47cm x L 41 x H 36cm.

​If you are interested in buying it, please contact me :)

For The Motherland 1/35

Here is a little 1/35 scale scene I put together last evening. I call it "For the Motherland" and it shows two fallen Red Army soldiers still missing somewhere in the wilderness that took over a once noisy and violent battle arena. Their Maxim machinegun still stands where it fired its last round defending the Russian soil.
The base used is a piece of grenade shrapnel.
