Normandy Bocage diorama

Alan,
That looks terrific and the filters add some nice atmosphere.

I think the only thing I would try to change a bit are the track marks in the erm track. Easy fix is to make up more of the mud material and build up the road a bit so the tanks track marks are at the same level, trying to keep the squidged out mud a little high, like it's been squashed out as the tank has pressed it out as passing.

As a second attempt at a dio you are doing great.
I was binge watching Martin on the Night Shift you tube channel. I was surprised when he painted all the diorama base. INCLUDING the grass and plants All the stones and wood work.
But it sure does work out. It just ties everything together!

I saw that too.... he's done it on a few of his dioramas.

On the latest one I was thinking it was looking pretty good without the paint already but it did take it to whole new level.

ATB.

Thanks Ian. They are going to be changed. I don't like them either. I'll either remove them or add more mud to make them look more natural.

Made a start on the smaller trees....

Hi Alan
Coming on a real treat. Interested in how the magic brew works on wood. Those are excellent trees.

Cheers Jim. Have to say i am impressed with the Treemendus flock. Looks really good.

Forgot about the aging wood liquid. The first batch mysteriously fell over when i was away at work. Personally i think it has something to do with my kids and a game of tag. But according to them it did it all by itself. Hmm.

Will 'brew up' another load this weekend.

Some more bushes made and the last (big) tree. Just need to put some foliage on it now :dizzy:

[Neil Merryweather]

It's all looking very respectable, Alan :thumb2:

[AlanG]

One tank track removed. Certainly looks better without it. Now for the other

[Tim Marlow]

Looking very good Alan. Definitely a hidden talent of yours.

[Jim R]

Hi Lee

Sorry to read of the mysterious bottle fall.Rather like when our first dog broke the lower section of our back door, while the daughters were playing football.

Mate of mine put a moped through his parents back door. Couldn’t blame anyone else though, his dad was having a cup of tea in the kitchen and my mate was riding the moped at the time :tongue-out3:
