Leo here is my f-15 on wet and dry painted to look like concrete. it does a good job and adds texture with no effort. http://scale-models.co.uk/threads/f-15e-dio.20021/

Hi Terry,

What did you use for the concrete? Looks awesome.

[Guest]

wet n dry paper sprayed with Dulux soft stone. It was then weathered with pencil crayon and diluted black paint for the tyre marks.

Thanks for the info Terry, i'll try it next time.

Cheers Leo

Your Welcome

So this is the final base, spent the last 2 days making the tarmac and grass. In the end i'm happy what i could achieve after inputs and help from people in this forum. Now just wait for the few things to arrive to add in the diorama. As usual any comments are welcomed.

Cheers

Leo

That looks great Leo the weathering is superb and that little bit of grass at the side makes it look all the more realistic

Top job

On a side note I came across these in my LHS , you get eight A4 size sheets for around a £5 [ATTACH]81138.IPB[/ATTACH]

Thanks Patrick and Alan.

Those things you bought would've make life easier. I tried using a rough sandpaper but it didn't workout, ao i scavenged kit boxes and cut them to pieces. And worked superb. Will update as soon as i'm done with this.

Cheers

I look forward to the finished dio mate
