Fiouf! It took me long enough but I've finally manage to finish my boys band.
I can now start to think about the diorama to put them on.

Very nice Arthur. Good texture all round, especially on the shoes.

Now that I've finished the vehicle and the two tankers, I can work on the diorama.
I want to make something fun with a light mood.

Maybe the tank could be stuck by something unexpected ? :p

I sketched out the basic position of all the characters on a piece of extruded foam.

I realised I had to assemble the cow completely to know where it's looking at before I can move forward.

It came from kit I found on eBay. It was pretty horrible to assemble. Nothing fitted together at all. A had to use a lot of putty to smooth out everything. I'll probably have more clean up to do when I'll paint this beast.

After this was done, I reduce the size of the base and to make the scene more compact. A slope un in the foreground and a hill in the background.

I'll put a broken fence from where the cow escaped.
Finally, I build a tree from dry wood and plastic putty, and I framed everything with balsa wood.

To be continued....
