My first braile scale tanks and diorama. I tried to show a Sherman passing an abandoned Jadg, with engine trouble, that has become stuck after driving off the road.
Kits are from Hasegawa and dragon. I added a few small bit to the sherman to make it closer to the real thing. The Jadg is straight from the box.. The trees are wire formed with colored foam. The house is scratch from plaster.
Here are the pics.
Thanks for looking.

I like the scene dimensions and use of space, track prints, and blending of base dirt onto the vehicles. I like the figures are interacting with the disabled tank. To improve: I think you are missing washes on the tanks and bricks - you will see the details 'pop' when you use them. Washes are a timeless weathering necessity. Cheers

Thanks for the compliments, I use a "pin" wash on the details of the tanks, but I have never been able to get a wash to work right on a whole tank. I always end up with a spotty result. The camera's depth of focus has not helped much in this small scale.
I will have to go back and play with washes again and see if I can get them to work out right. Thanks again for the advice.
