Jason..i hope you dont mind but i took the liberty and posted your pictures here in the thread for you. That will resolve the display issues of the links not working.

I think for your second diorama, you have done a great job. The tank itself is a little too clean for my taste.but that is just my personal opinion. I like the layout and i cant wait to see more work from you

The pictures are a little blurry but from what i can see, it looks pretty good. The only thing it the tank is a little clean and probably could do with a bit more weathering.

Good job!

Good start into the diorama world. I would do a bit of research into pastels. They are very versitile and will add a great layer of color and texture to your dioramas.
As you continue to build I would recomemnd that you take one aspect of a project and try and improve that one thing - weathering, layout, figures, mud, snow,..... just one thing each time and soon it will all come together very well.

Ola Jason

Well since this is your second diorama I don`t think I`m going to say much then a great job. I cant say much because of the quality of the pictures. But all seesm to be there and well built and painted. Historical Accuracy and such come with the time. I second Scott (Slodder) that you have to tackle things one at the time. Another suggestion I have is start small. Simply for the reason that when you screw something up you don`t waste a lot of time and work. Experiment and don`t be afraid to make mistakes is the way to learn something. God knows how much I have thrown in the garbagecan not to mention the stacks of dio bases I still have to dismantle.

I think we can expect some great stuff from you in the future. Try to experiment with techniques you learned from Articles here on the site or anywhere else on the net or magazines. And if you don`t know something you of course can always ask for help here in the Forums. there are enough guys who are very good in this sector of modeling and they sure can help you/

For the hedges i had used a sheet of styrofoam that i had purchased at my local walmart. then i used a spry adheasive and sprinkled oregano over the styrafoam tell you couldnt see it no more.

and that is how i got the hedges
