Another Update

Started added a base color to the corking and decided to add some sand bags

[ATTACH]315291[/ATTACH]

Bit more variation of color and bit more sepia wash on the edges ready to be highlighted

[ATTACH]315292[/ATTACH]

Added a small piece of plasticard to the tank turret so this can be posed.

The figures were attached to coffee stirrers for ease of painting

Hairy stick picasso carried out and here the results and if im honest its hard to give them the justice with correct lighting etc.. It will all come together once they are part of the dio

Added flocking and used my static grass applicator, lichen, crumbled cork, tiles as debris (if you can spot any!), used various washes

Found a old ornament base that i though would be suitable

[ATTACH]315405[/ATTACH]

Cut it down and stained and waxed and added a felt bottom

[ATTACH]315407[/ATTACH]

All i need to source now is where i can get a name plate made as i would think that would finish it off nicely! Any suggestions of places that make them would be ideal

Cheers Guys

Chuffing hell Ben! I can barely see 1/72 scale now, top work on something that is beyond braille scale.

The detailing is outstanding, normally something this small it is all about basic highlights but you have really brought the pieces together and brought them to life.

Well done on a stunning little dio.

Thanks Si

Hopefully ill have a few more on the way as these ive enjoyed building this small scale (Braille Scale)

Cheers
