A desert Dio. Had a big problem. I dropped the flipping model and shattered the handling railings on the greif in a million pieces. I had to use some garden wire and thee hide my clumsy construction with a First Aid bandage and turn it into camo nettong.

Sorry about the photo's I'm no David Bailey!!!!!1

Just replied on your other thread with the trck ambush dio.

Perhaps one too many figures in this one. But still promising - not often you see desert-dios.

Much Better Job then your Truck Ambush Dio

Where did you learn to weather vehicles like that ?? Perfect Job !!!

Camo netting is a very good idea to hide things under

Bravo !!! from me...

Waiting to see your next big project

I dont wanna be picky but you could hide the track gap with a rock or something.

I really like it thoough. The sand looks nice, and I like the Camo net brilliant idea

Looks good overall..is there a reason why Rommel is leaning back so stiffly? I would try leaning him forward a bit.

Hi

Quoted Text

is there a reason why Rommel is leaning back so stiffly? I would try leaning him forward a bit.

He was probably on the schnapps last night.

Its looking good Gary.

The weathering is very good.
The sand looks quite authentic too....it looks just like the view from my office window.

I agree with the rock hiding the track gap comment.
Plus maybe a few more footprints. That many figures would churn up the sand a bit.

Also the netting...great idea...necessity the mother of invention...or...always look on the bright side of damaged hand rails.



Cheers
Peter
