n this issue of The Weathering Magazine we present you with a series of techniques used to replicate the
complex and dynamic urban environment including active people, vehicles, and structures of various types.
The primary focus is on larger complex city settings, perhaps the most challenging and demanding type of
project. Urban scenes depicting ruined buildings, rubble, and the endless amount of detail elements required
to accurately replicate the urban landscape are often intimidating for modelers, but remember that urban
combat is primarily a nightmare for the civilian population and soldiers fighting in this very difficult terrain and
the subject deserves our attention as it is rich with history and details modelers enjoy painting most. One of
the first major urban battles of WWII was the Battle of Stalingrad which lasted from August of 1942 through
February of 1943 and is an excellent example and the inspiration for epic dioramas. Within Stalingrad the
houses were turned into defence points bristling with concealed machine guns, mortars, and 45mm anti-tank
guns, lethal to armoured vehicles in close quarters. Such resistance points cost the attackers and defenders a
tremendous toll and proved very difficult to destroy. Another legendary urban battle was a Warsaw Uprising,
whose 77th anniversary we celebrate this year. As a result of combat and the intentional demolition of the city
by Nazis, the capital of Poland was left in ruins as the cemetery for upwards of 200,000 people. After Stalin-
grad, it was the largest and the bloodiest urban battle of WWII, as well as the longest uprising in occupied
Europe. From a modelling point of view, the occupation of Warsaw also provides unique subjects introduced
to the battlefield including the 60-cm Karl Gerät “Zlu”and Sturmtigers.
After the Second World War, urban combat in Vietnam serves as a unique subject. Because the war was
filmed, the reference materials for unique scenes is endless. We present you with an iconic urban clash that
would serve as a turning point in the conflict depicted in great detail by one of Vietnam’s modelling masters.
The most recent highly destructive example of urban combat has taken place on our screens broadcasting the
Syrian civil war, the historical images of which have been preserved in scale in the following pages.
With a little patience and guidance from the world’s best modelers presenting you with a full range of innova-
tive techniques and subject specific methods, you will easily learn how to define your urban diorama and ve-
hicle’s setting for a stunning result. As you will see, the dynamic and complex aspect of modelling that is urban
settings is also the most enjoyable way to preserve history and stun viewers while expressing your imagination
to the fullest extent! Push your limits with The Weathering Magazine, we have you covered.
