Hi Guys, heres a few updated photos of my North Afican DAK dio. Basic groundwork is done and the old tamiya kettengrad is finished. Since I finished the MkIV F1 already is just a matter of finishing the figures annd attaching everything to the base. Then a final pastel dusting and it will be done. I should finish during the holiday vacation.











Let me know what you think

The groundwork looks much better then the first time. Looks very good.

But I would try to put the tracks of the Pzkfw and he kettenkrad deeper in the sand. And the faces need some work to I believe.
Anyway it is goning to look great

Greetings

Don, it looks great. You sure have a wonderful handle on all the terrains you model. Could you tell us a little about the ground work and vegetation? cheers Kevin

Hi Don ...Nice dio ...I like the ground work ...I just noticed a little mistake on the Panzer IV the armored air inlets on the transmission covers are on upside down .

The groundwork looks fantastic, what did you use for it. I like the building, is that a Verlinden ?

Don -

Excellent diorama, nicely balanced, simple and effective. The groundwork and building are especially well done. Maybe some "stowage" like gas and/or water jerry cans on Mk IV? Anxious to see the completed version.

That's a nice dusty dio

Nice desert dio Don, only nic pic I have is the figures need a bit more of a tan, they look to pail for the desert.
Great ground work and the vehicles look great also.

Seasons greetings.

I love that building! Incredible work. Is that scratchbuilt or kit formed. Looks good so far.

Thanks for all the kind words guys
I flipped the transmission covers over Rick , thank you for pointing that out. The building is a Verlinden kit with scatch built doors and shutters. The ground work is a mixture of celluclay, white glue, oil dry and sand. After the mixture is in place I sprinkle more oil dry and sand on top to get that texture.

Awsome dio! Keep on working, you sure are on the right track!
Cheers and happy modelling!
Happy New Year to you all!

Hey Don
I really like this! It is good to see some variety on subject matter. The groundwork looks great and is just as I would expect it to be in North Africa...
Maybe it's too late but to have the trailer behind the Kettenkrad on a slight angle (ie. off centre) just to avoid being too aligned?
Top work
Cheers and HNY
