    GREECE 1942 1/72 DIO.

    Have been working on a little dio of Greece in 1942. Nothing spectacular, just a square board.

    It has plaster cast columns, distressed, tiles added of various sizes, walling, rocks etc. Has been primed, then painted in scrumble varnish, this has been left till tacky and a cream emulsion added-this has been dragged down then a soft toothbrush has been used to enhance the look. A grey filter was and then a tan filter wash has been added. I looks shiny as it is still drying.

    Once dry it will have some more highlights added and then one or two 1/72 Tigers added just trundling past.

        That's a nice base Si, not something we see very often.

        Not sure I'd use Tigers though, to the best of my knowledge they weren't deployed in Greece being needed on more active fronts.

                  I think you are correct Patrick, will see if I can do a Panzer III or similar.

                  Glad you like it though.

                    Thanks guys, hopefully it will dry soon and then it will be highlighted, and then I shall start on the tank/s.

                        UPDATE:

                        Added some highlights and some foliage, edged the board in black and calling the base finished.
