Interesting set-up- is the Marder going to be sunken or in a ditch or something like that?

You have GOT to tell me how you did that mud and undergrowth- stunningly realistic. Awesome stuff Rafal.

That is some amazing work with the bushes and bits of trees. Is the Marder supposed to have sunk into a ditch or is it waiting in some kind of ambush?

Thanks friends.
Karl, wait
Carrier weathering - natural sand and dust from fields:





if something goes wrong, you can remove and apply again, without loss of model. Water will be perfect to do this.

Hi Rafal. Awesome work on both vehicles and the vegetation. All look so good.
One thing I would point out is that the vegetation appear to have taken over the seen and become the focus. If you look at this model from a distance, you will just see a lump of wild growth ... and even though this is well done, do you really want this to be the focus of the scene?
Personally I would try to have the contours of the Marder showing clearly through the brush. The carrier is not too big, and may not properly give the affect it did on the original mock up!

Thanks.
It's like I assumed, Marder is scheduled secondary model
Moore color on plants/vegetation, little wet around low hull.
To do...many things:

Mate this is looking really good, Having the two vehicles almost on top of each other gives it a sense of chaos. The one question I will pose before you go any further is how did the carrier get there?, at the moment it kind of looks like it was dropped there. I don't know about the clearance and the climbing ability of the carrier but I'm sure it would have made a mess of the bank when it went up ( especially if it happened at speed.
Best wishes

Am I right in saying the Bren Carrier has backed up the slope for a closer look or something of that nature? I assume your going to muddy up the Bren's approach so it looks more natural?
These small niggles aside, its looking fantastic.

Ah- now we're getting the story. Figures are amazing Rafal- I would love to see a few close-up shots of them to see more detail. By the way, what brands are the figures?

Hi there.
Amazing job with that carrier. And the figures look splendid!
I really like the one with the glasses.
Thanks for sharing.

Stunning work as always Rafal. Any chance we could see some tutorials from you here on Armorama? Your diorama planning and groundwork are very impressive
