Miniart's diorama base is quite OK, lots of sanding and filling but hey, life ain't easy (... for a boy named Sue as Johnny Cash sang). But the door was definitely ugly so I decided to replace it with some DIY wood. The raw material was from the local McDonalds.
Glued with Superglue and sanded a little bit. Later some left-over PE material was also used...
The latch was soldered from brass rod (the only difficulty level of soldering I can cope with...) and starts to look like a real door...
Weathering was done with gouache paints (mostly browns and some black plus light greenish wash on the underside). The strap was "rusted" with Model Color paints.
As I plan a woman standing in the door what else could be more useful to put next to it than a broom? Made of toothpick and hair of painting brush.
And finally that's where the project stands now (some more snow applied with vegetation and slush on the roadside):
And for the next few spare hours...
The Magic-tracks were from the Panzerjäger I Ausf. B kit because the kit's original tracks (on sprue) took not less than 8 hours last time to cut & sand before gluing together. I'm not a time-millionaire...
