Wonderful Daniel! Could you put some tyre tracks, etc. on to make it even better?
Where will you display it? I see you have a huge case for it. How big is it?

Hi Andrew thanks for your advice! I had the tyre tracks in mind as well! I tried but the sand is rock solid! If you could give me any idea or a good way to create that would be great! Please let me know if you can assist! Thanks regards Danny

[Guest]

Oh sorry Andy the case is L 175 cm , W 100 cm , H 35 cm

HI Daniel two questions if I may, your ground cover can you please tell me what you have used and did you make your palm trees ?
Absolutely stunning :thumb2: there's only one thing wrong with it-------------- it's not mine :loudly-crying::loudly-crying::loudly-

Hi Pete thanks for stopping by ! And also thanks for your kind words! The ground covered with AK interactive sand paste ! If you look back few pages there is a picture of the things i used ! Regarding the palm trees.. wish I could make them but not I just purchased it! Get it from reality in Scale! But I found a little bit cheaper on ebay ! Look for thanan model tree shop on google! Thanks again regards Danny

Just a quick thought about the tyre tracks. Try experimenting with beads of PVA to fix parallel lines of sand either side where the tyres have been.

Daniel,

This is an epic build so many things of interest all round keep up the great work as to the tracks perhaps a thin skim of filler behind the vehicles just deep enough to allow you to add the wheel print.

Thanks for the comment Scottie! I tried my best fellas with the track marks! And that’s the best idea i come up with! Please let me know your opinions ! I really like to know if I ruined it or its ok ! Unfortunately it’s irreversible! So I hope it looks ok ! Critics are welcome thanks Danny [ATTACH]301214[/ATTACH][ATTACH]301215[/ATTACH][ATTACH]301216[/ATTACH][ATTACH]301217[/ATTACH][ATTACH]301218[/ATTACH][ATTACH]301219[/ATTACH]

Daniel,
That's a great result looks good.

I think that the tracks help because the vehicles have not just landed where they are.

[Guest]

Thanks Scottie and Andy best I could come up with! I guess lesson learned! Next time tracks before it dries! Regards Danny

Yep, tracks are easiest while the media is still pliable.
A VERY tough job with something this size!
Nicely done.

I know I've said it before, but it looks fantastic!
The lighting overhead giving shadows under the trees adds another realistic dimension.

I showed my wife the overall pics and the shots of the display case by itself, and of course she was duly impressed.
It's hard to grasp the magnitude of the whole scene, but the case in the mostly empty room gives a pretty good idea how big this project is physically.
Your work certainly is an inspiration.
