Comments tips etc. are always very welcome

Enjoy the pics.....

Jurjen, Let me start off by saying I really like your dio. The ground work is amazing. What did you use for plants and ground cover? Next Up I believe you need to rust up your exhaust pipes a bit. Also some of the dirt on the upper hull doesnt quite look right to me. Its to clumpy. Ask your self how did that dirt get there. If it is just dust it will have settled more in the corners. These are both easily fixable problems. I think you have a winner here. Thats just my 2 cents. Kevin

Hi, Really nice work there. Looks like the vehicle is really digging into it's enviornment. I agree with jackhammer in that you may want to add a little 'rust' to the exhausts, maybe just a hint of it ,and maybe an undictching beam on one side just to add a little something else to the vehicle. Like the way you bent down the vent over the rear to show that something heavy had by laid or placed on it at one time. I think I see that you've put the flame-thrower unit on in place of the bow mg. Would there be a hint of soot and or rust in front of this on the hull? Just curious. Of course you may have added this aleady and the mud and dirt being thrown up may be covering this up to some degree too.

I see that you are using the Mig weathering pigments. How do you like them?

You have made something there to be proud of. Great work.

Take care, Sgirty

Thanks for the tips and comments I made some last adjustments. The tree was not finished and I the T-34 needed some more weathering. The dio is done, I think , I only have to add some figures. But that will be another project.

Here are the latest pics....






My first tree


The Mig Pigments: Astonishing results can be achieved! They are really superb Get them.....

Kind Regards

Jurjen, Bravo you fixed the problem i saw withthe clumpy weathering, but you could still benefit with a little rust powder brushed on the exhaust. Also the tree looks much better, I still am curious what your ground plants are and what you used for foilage in the tree? This is a stunning dio. Cheers Kevin

Thats a real nice work there . Ilike the texture on the turret and the general tank build. The groundwork and foliage looks very nice and some info on that could be appreciated. Nice colourings all over the scene
BRAVO

the groundwork makes the tank and the tank makes the groundwork. Amazing is all I can say on this one.

Thanks for the positive replies guys.

For the tree I used the next materials:

And I used some ordinary flock which I airbrusched green later.

For the groundwork I used moss


Groetjes Jurjen:)

Ps. What is your opinion on the top-turret colours? I never expected it would look like this..
