Hey guys,

Here is my first attept at building a diroama, it probably not correct for the location this tank was in, but I think it looks good. This is tstill in progress, so the figs aren't done yet.

WEWWW nice dios, steppes
how did you make it ? i mean the material to make it ? because i used to have a plan to my Opel Dios, but i changed it, cause i had no idea how to make it, since it neeed a lot of tall grass.
and wht the colour of the tanks a little bit red?
thks

I would also like to know more about the grass.

Thanks,

That looks great for a first dio, Dave!

Tell us how you did the grass.

Very good work for a first dio!!!

Im also currious about the grass?

and i also have one suggestion: Even though the grass is large Tiger is a heavy tank! so grass behind him would have been "layed down" especially under the track and on places where tracks passed!

otherwise, a very nice "little" (tiger is about 25cm in 1/35) diorama for you!

cheers

First you must drill many holes in the base,enough so that almost no groundwork will be seen on the finished base once the grass is attached .The grass is unraveled jute rope, cut to lengths about 2 inches long (guess) and two or three lengths per hole.



this has happened, but the pictures don't show it for some reason.




The dust is pastel, applied with a brush.

another Question..How many hours did you spend drillign the holes and putting the grass in to place???
looks like a HELL of a job.I once wanted to do something like that but it didn't came ou that way,it's really time absorbing.Very good job,respect!!

cheerz Q.

I spent about five minutes drilling the holes, and about three hours filling them.I just unraveled the top of the jute lengths, and left the bottom alone, that helped alot in putting it in the holes.


(EDIT) I'd say there would be about 100-120 holes in the base, just in case you're wondering.

Looks great, i love the grass!
excellent for a first diorama, cheers

nice job on your first dio. the grass looks very nice. the rust looks good on the tank, but i see some red on the barrel and various places throughout. if that is supposed to be rust? if so, it seems too red. good job on your first dio!

thats actually acumulated dust from thge cre dragging it up when entering/exiting the vehicle.

nice job with the grass! I gotta try that out sometime.

I really like the grass work a lot
Bravo nice idea

It's a very good job for a first dio, congrats
I like the grass work.
I think the tank is positioned well, you don't need to worry about it.

anddd,, another qiestion from me
how do you gonna paint the grass ? do you use airbrush ? and what colour do you will use?
thks

Congrats on your 1st dio. I am impressed with the tank. That grass was probably harder that the model tank.

The tank looks great the rust helps alot what method did you use for the rust.
