Very nice work Jim Like the effects and the shading not only from light to dark


but also the change in colour. Very nicely done indeed.

love it Jim,once again you have done a superb job ,
the base looks great as well do like the use of the sticks,and stones,


the whole thing is nicely put together,with nice weathering on both, ;)
Thanks Monica, I'm working on a cobble stone "street" base for displaying in an urban setting, will keep it simple, maybe a bit of sidewalk and just at touch of rubble. A desert board will be a snap, just some sand, a few stones and a bit of scrub brush, will keep sand "un-glued" so to speak so vehicles can be set in nicely;)...................Jim:smiling3:

sounds good Jim will look forward to seeing it, ;)


that's a very good point and important one when doing sand/soil base,s to keep some of the same ,


to use aroundd wheels/tracks and even onto the tank or what ever for blending it all together,

Only problem with the "loose soil" scenario is that it must be kept in a safe place as it is unstable:eek:

Thanks Barry, base is another "generic", kept roadway "soft" so it can be re-used, saves diorama space and gives a nice back-drop to things;)

Awesome bub, that is a beasty of an arty!!:cool:


Just one thing, where are the crew? It kinda looks abandoned....o_O


Beyond that I dig the subtle weathering and the arty "sinking" into the sand/gravel is a nice touch that adds to the apparent heavy going depicted in the dio!! :D :cool::cool: :smiling3:
