Witness artist Roman Novikov-Okhonskiy's expert touch as he transforms a basic diorama kit into a masterpiece, complete with additional features, accessories, and a scratch-built figure. Although lacking step-by-step photos due to its custom-made nature, this super diorama, created in collaboration with Attica Miniatures, is a true master class in modeling. Dive into the world of intricate scale modeling with Scale Modeling Manual Vol.11! Contents: Pg.4 Tank Battles on the Western Front, 1916. “Greetings to all fellow modellers! I would like to share some details of my work with you on a small diorama I’ve entitled ‘Tank Battle’. The diorama depicts one of the incidents that happened on the Western Front during the First World War in 1916. Sculpted in 1/32nd scale Andrea Miniatures has captured an emotive scene in their super set of resin diorama base and figures - Andrea Miniatures (S3-S04), ICM - 54mm (1/32nd scale)”. Pg.9 Camouflage of the First British Tanks in WWI by the Mr Black Team. Tank camouflage is a constantly changing art, depending on landscape, climate and season, amongst other issues. Pg.10 Interior painting of the tank along with some other interesting information, using Andrea Miniatures Paints for the Mark I ‘four-tone camouflage’. Pg.12 Historical Background and Interesting Data. The Battle of the Somme commenced with a vast British attack on 1st July 1916. On the first day of that battle, the bloodiest in the history of the British Army, there were over 57,000 British casualties. Pg.16 Interesting Data for “Fray Bentos” and More. Even if “Fray Bentos” was a Mark IV and Andrea Miniatures’ kit is a Mark I, definitely the sculptors/artists have been inspired by the famous incident at the Battle of Passchendaele on 1917. Andrea Miniatures has captured an emotive scene in their super set of the resin diorama base, with the Mark I tank and figures to accompany them. Sculpted in 1/32nd scale this set really does remind us of the German infantry attacking the British Mark IV tank named after “Fray Bentos”, a popular British brand of tinned ‘corned beef’ meat, but as already mentioned, “Fray Bentos” was a Mark IV Tank, and not a Mark I.
