A small dio done in a couple of nights.The figures and Mutt were done earlier and waiting for a base.Figures are of course MB without the machine gunner that really should never been a part of that kit,replaced by a Dragon figure.Base is insullation foam,ground is WS tall and static grass,90% aquarium plants and a few twigs.Weathering mainly pigments.

Tom: looks good, particularly for how fast you put it together! My only suggestion is a little wash or something to highlight the web gear and straps on the figures.

Happy Modeling, -zon

Tom, the aquarium stuff looks very good here! I would put a few lower grasses (of the same sort) along the road instead of the grass. This grass is not convincing at all.
It also will give it a more jungle feeling.

Very good points guys.
I'm not sure why,but I'm always hit and miss at gear straps Zon.Claude,looking at it now your absolutely right.I wanted to add some WS green grass,but found that I was out and too impatient to wait till I got more(not a smart move).
Thanks for the comments.

Happy Holidays.

Hi Tom,

great use of these nice sets (vehicle and figures).
I think a little pigment on the grass edges will make a big difference.

keep up my favourite subject!
