Scratchbuilt house and interior and some minor changes to the kit (opened door, etc.)

that is very nicely done. I find it hard to believe that such a good finish has been done on a 1/72 kit.
My only comment would be that the truck with that amount of mud on the wheels would be sunk a little further into it.

hey i love the texture of the mud, but maybe u could lay a couple coats of gloss coat to give it a.....wet muddy look.

Thanks a lot
After your comments i think I´ll apply another layer of "mud" with a more wet look, that will also make the wheels sink deeper into the surface.
PS: I did the Mud using earth from the garden, white glue, and grass for modell-railroads and colored the mixture with oil-paints.
