HI

commando car is nearly finished and I've started to clean figures (2nd sas regiment - dragon) and planing dio . Idea is: stone bridge and under it parked jeep, around him are four sas soldiers. On the bridge : 1st option : germans on r75 motorcicle; 2nd option : few germans walking over bridge. Around bridge some bushes and trees. If any have advice on how to procede with bridge or any other idea , please advice

Cheers
Robert

I like the idea, a bullet can be very attractive
But I think the bridge is too narrow to allow the vehicle can safely hide, you might consider increasing its width or put enough vegetation on the sides of the bridge.

Do not use that material to the stones, but are very smooth, try to give it texture with a sponge brush or metallic

Robert,
I agree with Domi, maybe add a little texture to the stones. Coat them with some diluted white glue and sprinkle them with fine sand or the powder used to make plaster.
And heavy vegetation, bushes and trees along the sides of the bridge is a good idea.

Make sure you keep working on it.

Well heres a little progres with bridge, teksture on stones is may be not so visible right now but it will be after some weathering. I'm presing a real stone to a material wich I'm using to achive texture. And yes there is plan to put heavy vegetaton around bridge, I think beacause bridge is low it would be hard to see what is under it , unless you are searching for something. Envolving SAS it means that all thing is hapening deep behind enemy lines and bridge is not of any strategic importance, but maybe somewhere around is somethng that sas is going for... They will leave jeep here and go on foot to the target ....

Cheers
