Great job Connor the Cossack !

I really like the groundwork - hard to believe this is your first diorama!! The kits are great too. Soviet stuff is really neat and there seems to be more and more kits available.

Keep 'em coming

Best regards

Hi Connor, Nice project to work on. Don't forget lots of dirt and mud on the wheels and boots. I did notice the factory mold lines on the figures (a bit of file or razor knife work is needed) and these should be removed, IMHO - most distracting. Some putty on the ars and the heads look good. Nice work on the weapon slings. Keep us posted.
