Venelin Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 Hi, This is small diorama I've made last year, showing the advancing of the British to Tobruk after the Alamein battle. Sherman is Dragon, figures are Masterbox, painted with Vallejo and AK acrylics. I added various stowage-boxes from Italeri, homemade tarps and camouflage net. The Sherman is nice, but those photoetch fenders are very hard to assemble Regards! 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Base is wooden frame, filled with insulation foam, the terrain is shaped with DAS clay and then adding rocks fixed with white glue. Painted with acrylics and oil washes and some dry tufts here and there. Cheers! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badder Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 Excellent little dio. With quite a few figures, there's always a danger that one or two will let you down, but your figure painting is super. aMy only query would be about the camouflage net.. why is it so long and jutting out at the front? I reckon that net would sag and droop and tangle with the tracks. Rearguards Badder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
