Hi Guys,

Its been a while since I posted my last update for my TD entry...its been a very slow build for me . Here are some pics of my progress and comments are very much welcome....







Here is what the dio is supposed to lookl like....I still need to add some more dio materials such as grass and I also still need to paint the schwimmwagen and figs. Hopefully I could finish them on time.



Thanks for looking...

Cheers

Thanks ....I had to hand draw the tactical numbers because the camo pattern would not match the tactical number provided with the kit... :-)

I realy like the poses of the figures and I think it's becoming a great dio. I also find the tracks following the terrain and the damaged roadwheels very convincing. Keep up this great job!

Nice work there Arvin, I like it a lot. Just one suggestion if I may - will you be damaging the blown-off roadwheels themselves? They look a bit fresh and untouched to me.

Rip: Yup, they are still fresh because up to now I still have not decided on how to place/arrange those wheels...I welcome any suggestion.

Francois: I plan to gloss some areas as you mentioned to simulate the look of mud.

BTW, the latest updated photo with grass can be found here... Elefant dio

I already corrected some mistakes by probably another mistake :-) ...I'll try to post some new pics here tomorrow....

Cheers
