Just some progress shots of my Tiger dio.were the white bit is on the base am hoping to cover that area with hedges if i can find some in a model shop.it will have full crew and 4 soldiers sitting on the back,i may also put some infanty walking on the right hand side.
The Tiger represents obersturmfuhrer michael wittmanns 205 during early june 44.
cheers for looking

Excellent do far. What kit is the Tiger from? One thing I would suggest is that you scatter a bit of grass over the tracks, IMO they look a bit too clean.

Thanks dave

as you can see the Tank is not driving on the grass but on the dusty road,so the tracks would not have any grass on them.but i will dust up the tracks when i have finished
the Tiger is a Tamiya kit with cavalier zimmerit eduard barrel Tamiya screens and friul tracks.
cheers karl

Ciao Tigeriv,
Looking great! I really like the grass. How did you do it? It will really look great when you get the figures on it.
Ciao for now

Hi Karl:

I think your diorama is looking good so far. I agree with the earlier suggestion that your Tiger and tracks need some dusting up. Also, possibly dry brush the grass (looks like Heki?) to vary the coloration as it looks too uniform to me.

Ahh, sorry, I didn't really explain what I meant very well. I meant the tracks as in the tan coloured earth the tank is driving over, I thought they could do with a bit of grass scattered over them. Apologies.

Karl, Excellent work so far. Only thing I would do is make the edges of the grass more jagged. It looks to uniform this way. Great tiger by the way. Cheers Kevin

Very good dio concept, but I also have to agree with Kevin about the edges of the grass...BTW, maybe the symmetrical presentation (the pathway is parallel with the edges of your base) of the dio also gives the viewer the impression of uniformity...

Did you use Heki grass? I wish stores here would sell those beautiful Heki grass here in the Philippines...I could have used them in my dio....

I'd love to see it finished..

Cheers

Looking great so far. Your Tiger I Late looks good, maybe a lil bit more weathering, but other then that it looks fine.

Groundwork looks really good. It's not finished yet, so maybe that why the others think it looks plain. I think once you add in the figures, etc, the overall appearence will improve.

Keep us up to date as you proceed

Cheers !!

Could do with some road dust on the Tiger to tie it into the base, at the moment it looks a little out of place. And maybe some flowers in the grass to break up the green a bit.

The rear plate of the Tiger looks a little bare for some reason.

Nice groundwork generally.

The tiger and the rest look great. It is an unfinished dio on the pictures, so I can't suggest some weathering yet. I'm sure there will be some dust and color variation of the grass at the end. My only suggestion is to make more long grass at the left side (first pic.) Long grasses over there seem to be very orderly placed..
Waiting to see the finished job
