Great diorama, Greg! Very realistic mud feel to it and the splattered mud on the SU-122 looks very convincing.

The only little thing is that the top of the Tiger's tracks seems very clean, but that might because of the angle of the photo.

Thanks for sharing the great diorama

I appreciate the comments and feedback. The Tiger maybe is too clean in some spots. I'm always afraid of 'over doing it" so maybe I'll add a little more mud in the tracks and light dirt around the sides or something. Thanks!

Played around on photobucket and discovered they have the 'Layers' feature so I got a nature background effect. You get 2 pics on the screen and line them up how you want over each other. Then, you use the 'Eraser' that comes in different sizes to erase your model pic areas to reveal the nature photo underneath - cool!
