The TC is really well done. The trees look nice too. Overall a really good job. Thanks for posting it.
You should submit it for a photo feature.

Yvan, this is really impressive. I love the ground work on this dio, really nice features and textures. Also the figure painting is especially impressive and the scene adds a really human touch. Kaput indeed!

Very nice! I like both the surroundings and the vehicles, I wish I could do this convincing chipping.

Yvan,
what a great piece of work!
This one is a real treat to the eye.
Composition and execution are both equally good.
Personally I would relocate the box next to the tankette. It looks out of place there.

Looks very good!
The different sizes of stones and sand give a natural look.
Also I like the nicely painted figures with their details, and the small vehicle looks very interesting.
I didn´t seen it before.
greetings... (and merry christmas)

Hi All,
Tks for the comment
Andy,
the ground build is fairly basic indeed : base and stones are styrofoam ( or similar, I don't know excatly the english word for that
)
then sealing plaster to mold the ground itself, cat liter as stones randomly spreads
and sand is baking soda
the palm trees are from U-Model
eveything painted with Vallejo Air colors, and weathered using same technics as for vehicles
more detailed pictures can be seen there
