Sake…..Break!!!
Shep Paine inspired this diorama with one of his old Monogram diorama sheets and talking to him about how important a story is to a diorama. See if you can guess what the story is from the title.
This diorama was finished 3 times. Once in 2004 for the annual Chicago Figure Show, again in June 2005 for Military Modelcraft International and again in November 2005 for my own satisfaction. Additions from the original finish were the additions of the soldier with the shovel, the soldier looking up, articulating the tank’s suspension, making new Sake arrangement and new palm leaves. The final additions were the addition of the saw in the soldier’s hand and wheelbarrow.
The figures were converted from DML Iwo Jima Japanese figure set, Hornet heads and hands and epoxy putty. Groundwork and figures were finished using Vallejo acrylics. The Type 95 Ha-Go light tank is the same model that has already appeared on Track-Link. It was further weathered using Gamblin pigments, Rustall, Winsor/Newton watercolors and Bragdon rust.
