Heller 1/8 Citroen Traction Avant

Thanks roy yep lights and bumpers albeit very knocked about and shabby, in keeping with the rest of it.

I'm only doing bits of the background as I'm feeling quite drained from the intense build of the Citroen, so need a bit of a break from it.

Great stuff!

A bit more crudd in the gutters, and grubby the building walls a bit more.

How about being brave - move the car out of the way and give all the backdrop a mist of matt black and earth brown, or dark grey just tone it all down.

Make it look REALLY 'war-torn'.

A few screwed up bits of paper, some scraps of wood or brick. A scruffy old poster on the wall.

You have the makings of an ACE diorama.

NONE of what I'm saying is meant negatively.

I'm just thinking how far you could take this to make it a show-stopper.

Have a peep in the 'Armoury' section at the tank and war dioramas.

You could give them all a run for their money!

thanks roy, of course I didn't think of looking there (not my normal genre) of course they are experts, I knew it didn't look right (too clean) but didn't know how to go with it, I will take a peek, thanks for the tip.

Hi all no pictures tonight but, after a concerted effort today I can confidently say this will be finished tomorrow, its been a long hard slog but on the final stretch today just a bit of tidying up required tomorrow.

And a definite thumbs-up from me. A fantastic build throughout.

The only thing against it as far as I'm concerned is that I'm now even more scared about starting mine. In comparison, mine is likely to turn out as a monochrome glue bomb...
