Hi all!

This is my current project. Not yet came out with the title of this diorama as well what i will put on, maybe smaller US vehcile and/or figures. If you have any qeustions, shoot.

Cheers.

Very pleasing to look at the colors and textures are great. Maybe a bit more dark brown wash on the fence but not much.
This deserves a great trim base edge.

Goran, nice groundwork, Scott has a good observation on more weathering on the fence.
Whatever you place in the scene will certainly be complemented by the base work.

Yo Goran,

Very nice groundwork...realistic too! Nice depth you put into it...maybe you can spray some dark green on the gras in some places...its a bit flashy now. But well done! Nice fence...scratchbuild? What did you use for the groundwork texture...plaster?

Thank you Scott, Cheyenne and Nico.
Yes, fence is scratchbuilded, and for groundwork i used real dirt mixed with some smaller and larger rocks, glued with white glue, then airbrushed and drybrushed.

Cheers.

Goran, this is truly a nice base. The road is well executed, and grasses look realistic. I just do not like the tree. It's not realistic enough in my opinion, too artificial. The rest looks just fantastic.

May I give you a tip to make your tree more realistic ?
Well, if you spray on a lighter green (not flashy of course) FROM ABOVE (verticularly), you will create a "shadow" under each branch using the dark tone green it has already now. And each branch will be highlighted ! You will create more body.
That's how I paint my trees.

I have to agree Goran. At present it is the only thing letting a down a superb base. I think you are right to have something similar there as it balances the scene well, but maybe try Guys method and see if it improves it at all.
Overall though it is a beaut piece of work. A smaller vehicle or troop movement would really make this scene jump to life, as they won't overshadow the groundwork.
Good stuff

Thank you Guy and Bradley.

Guys on the other forum tell me also that they don't like the tree. I will try play with paint as Guy tolld me.

Cheers.

Progress...

Painted the tree, not complete happy how turns out:





Also painted the wheel:





Let me know what you think.

Cheers

The tree is ok, probably better than you think. May go in with some oil washes of greens and browns to get in deep at the trunk/branch area.

The wheel is much improved, could use a touch of darkness around the axle hole.
