Hi Zoran,

That looks really impressive and well thought out. What did you use to make such realistic grass, and where did you get the tree from?

Thanks

Andy

I think it looks great in 1:72. But as far as i know only the germans used that camo.

Looks like the camouflage pattern used on a detachment of 7RTR Matildas supporting the Malta garrison.

Hi.

Andy:
The grass is regular beige static grass from Noch. I just painted it after the glue was dried out. The tree is made out of wire and plaster, texture was added with a knife.




Lars:
David is right. Matildas with such camos were used from the Britans on Malta.

It's a realistic tiny diorama! You've got a lot of patience. .I want to learn fore about the diorama and the tank!I think that you need to open hole to the tank cannon!

Zoran,

Sorry to keep asking so many questions, but what did you use for the smaller branches and also the foliage / leaves. This is the best tree I have seen in this scale.

Thanks again
