Well im close to victory after a hard, 6 months, battle with a disastrous kit.

Just few final touchups are needed, like making gunstrap for MG, few more drybrushes and matt coating whole scene.


This sceene is going into this weekends competition. ;D

Very nice work Mirko. Congrats and good luck at the competition.
I especially like the tree. How did you do that tree? It is so real..

Mirko,

an excellent diorama. I only have one thing that caught my eye... it's the upper part of the tank.. it's looks a bit too clean compared to the lower part and the tracks. Is it the pics that show some differnce or is it actually true ?

For the rest....EXCELLENT diorama !

Hi,

i've one nithpick. Try to scatter your bush with parsley.
Spray it with several green paints then it will look more like a bush then it is now.

Further it looks very good.
Great figure painting.

That is a cool dio you have made there. Just as Engin I`m really curious what you used for the tree. Is it something you found in the garden? Looks like the real McCoy to me. The T34 came out Beautifull although I also would like to see some more dust on the upperhull. The whole scene is clear and very well placed. Nothing is disturbing. Very good dio.

Robert,
This is not Engin, this is Alguhan.. But the flag is the same :-) :-)

The tree is from the package from mr, Costas, so you will have to ask him that :-)

Well i dusted the whole tank evenly, ill check it again tonight, and dust some more on upperhull, it was 4am when i did it so its possible you are right guys :-)

The bush is made from garden moss and some branches, i wanted it to be like this, first one i ever made and im happy

Would like to see more replies for sure!!!

Every suggestion is a way to improve it :-)

Mirko

It's a wonderful dio! All figures are very well placed and match together very well to give us a good idea planned by the author! The tank is superblly built! and the scenario is very well built too!
Cheers and happy modelling!

very nice there
like the cable
its a nice composition keep it up !!!

Very nice......
Sent PM.....

Mirko, you have done an excellent job!!! I am also glad to see those boxes glued down Aside from the others comments on the weathering of the upper hull i have only one thing to add and its probably from the camera and that is that a couple figs appear shiny. But that is probably the camera. Great job!!! Kevin

Excellent work Mirko. I would probably have pressed the tank a little bit deeper into the groundwork.

Thank you all for replies, tonight im gonna do more work and probably do some things few folks here mentioned.

Still waiting for few peeps to post on this one, dont forget, im into competition in 3 days from now. still could use some ideas...


Mirko

P.S. Grumpy, i replied on pm

Great Job you have done there Mirko. I love the overall feel of the dio. Lounging around, relaxing , having a bite to eat..very nice. I'm not positive on what that tree is, but it looks similar to sagebrush. Looks good though...
Mary (++)

Hi brother Nice tree there!!! Nice cable also . I am afraid that ground itself coyld prove a bit plain and might need some ditying with some litter especially since the tree leaves are fallen. Also i d go with Kev that the Figures seem to be a bit shiny. Try to use some fine dust of pastels to take this off.

Good work and good luck in comp

The dio looks really cool Mirko, The tank has turned out to be a very good finished model.

Very good mate, i like it alot.
The T-34 is excellent, as are Darko's figures.
Good on the both of you!
Cheers

the subject,figures,tank and groundwork looks very good.also the name of dio makes a sense..i agree Danny on weathering the tank some more.
congrats Mirko

Great work, just one little nit-pick, i think that the hatch should be either closed or orpen, im not sure it was capable of being in a halfposition.
