Could you tell us a little about your method in creating the realistic ground on the base and what materials you used?

@cetinsarf - You have a nice project going and I have to agree with everyone's comments most notably Neil's, aka 'Korpse' concerning the camouflage finish on the vehicle and the eye catching base with a most realistic ground effect.

Eddy and Olivier thank you,
I'm glad you like it.
I've picked all the stuff which I've used in the base from surroundings. Autumn is very bleesing for this. For the ground, I've used the sieve at the photo below to sift the soil.
And this is the materials of blessing autumn: =)
By the way, most of them used on their original colors...

@cetinsarf – Cetin,
Thank you very much for sharing your method of achieving the realistic groundwork used on your base. I’ll have to pick up a small colander the next time my wife and I are out shopping for kitchen supplies and a few jars too!
Again thank you very much it is much appreciated.
Happy modeling,
-Eddy

Çetin,
Beautiful job on this beast!
I am particularly impressed with the PE work you did and the base looks wonderful. I'll have to do some gathering for material from the yard as fall is here and it should be plentiful and diverse. Also much cheaper than Woodland Scenic. 
Cheers,
Jan

Due to an accident lower armour part detached.
Sprayed matt varnish after some wash. I wander if it is too much faded? Would it be better after some blending or panel lighting? I'm open for ideas.

It is easier to replace viny rope with copper wire instead of trying to clean it's mould marks. =)

@cetinsarf – Çetin,
Excellent build. Hoping to see more of your work here again. Great tip in sharing with us the camouflage technique and ground effect material you used on the base.
Thanks for posting and sharing your build here.

Hi
Very good challenger.
I like your model. Clean build, with great camo.
The groundwork you have done is simple but effectiv. Like it too.
The only thing. I think there can be a little bit more dust on the lower parts.
But this is only my opinion.
Cheers Daniel

Hi Daniel, I'm glad you like it. And in fact you are right about the dust. I may rethouch it before I send it from the bench. These is is a photo I took for DMOM October.
And this shows how it is right now.
