Dingo finished, just need a dio now!

[Ian M]

Keep any base or dio simple Graham. As Richard said, just a muddy track, a bit of grass and some tufts here and there. Driver and radio guy looking at the sign and a map maybe?

I would not be to bothered with the red mud either.

I might just get me one of those when some of the other projects are out of the way.

Thanks for the ideas guys, once again I am 'over egging the pudding' in my mind. I think of something that will be too complex for me to achieve. Your ideas have grounded my thinking again, cheers for the support.

'over egging the pudding' means making it to complicated for those who do not understand our 'quaint' British expressions

Lovely looking dingo Graham, only a complete scale version of Caen would do this justice:emo: you know you want to

[Guest]

That was my very first idea Darren, how did you guess lol

[Guest]

The trick is Graham not to fix it to the base. That way you can remove it from the 1/48th diorama of Caen and stick it back on it's muddy track when you want the garden back to yourself!!

[Guest]

Awesome weathering Graham ! As good as that Dingo looks now its really going to pop when its set in the dio!

[Guest]

Cheers Trey, let's hope so lol.

Richard, sadly this is 1:35 so I have been looking at the park over the back fence for the dio, should get s decent representation of the town in there without messing up my garden lol

[Guest]

Come on Graham, you got to frame this masterpiece so we can see it in all its glory. Looking forward to seeing the finished touches.

I have just recently finished building the very same Dingo and was feeling quite proud of myself.

It was a straight out of the box build. No accessories. Painted and weathered it up.

Thought it looked good!

Now looking at yours I feel depressed!:respect1:

[Guest]

I often look at mine and feel depressed to Terry lol. Post it up mate, the more the merrier.

[Guest]

We all started at the bottom Terry, as long as you learn something from every other model you look at and then make your next one that bit better before you know it every one will be looking at yours and thinking "I wish mine was that good!"

The most important thing is that we enjoy making models and improving what we do.

Beautifully done as usual Graham. Someone's already commented on the redness of the dirt/clay you've put around the wheels which you don't sound too happy about. As they've said, a nice simple base with the same colour ground would set this off a treat.

Did you forget to drill out the gun barrel?

[Guest]

Hooray!!!! The prize (if there was one) goes to Dave for pointing out I had forgotten to drill out the gun barrel.......... (always one isn't there.....) Cheers Dave, I will be getting on with the base as soon as I get some more stuff.

At the moment it is on my (under construction) Normandy Landings Dio with my Cromwell. It will go into it's own diorama as soon as that is finished.

I think I need to take more pictures of my models, especially when I think they are finished. The photos certainly show up errors and omissions.hno:

[Guest]

Looks good to me Terry, the figure shows just how small these things were. The Cromwell is looking good to
