Thanks very much Danny! Yes Shain,the tree has a bit of moss,wanted to get a nice bright acidic colour of green in there to bring it to life a little. Thanks for your comment.

Well,I do have a system that I follow each and every time I put a dio together but aside from that it`s probably the overantisipation and excitement of seeing the finished product for real and matching the outcome with my minds eye vision of the scene. There are many aspects of putting a dio together that for me brings excitement in the finish like laying down groundcover,the placing of barbedwire,a piece of netting around a gunbarrel and gluing on of finished figures!
As it happens since the completion of St.Lo I have now nearly completed my third dio and this one has taken a little longer in that the vehicle is the Dragon TigerI 3in1,which in my opinion has it`s good and bad points,
but nuff said!
