Almost done. Need some help tank guys. What do you think can help balance the scene? I was thinking of adding barbed wire and 1 or 2 figures on the opposite side of the trench from the tank. That, plus adding some extra mud on the tracks, and in the trench to tear it up a bit more. I will also add cked mud, etc. to the tank. What do ya'll think?

Oh, BTW, Emhar 1:35

And the inspiration for the scene...

Hi Brian

I see you have the WW1 armour bug too :-) , great looking MKIV.
How did you find the Emhar kit ??? ive just finished their Tadpole and found the kit left a lot to be desired.
Your MKIV just goes to show with a good paintjob what great looking results can be achieved.

That's looking good Bryan but as you say it needs a bit more mud. Some barbed wire and figures would help and how about some wire net revettment as shown in the photo. You could also add some duck boards to the bottom of the trench, broken up where the tank has hit them.

Couldn't agree more! Figures placed on the opp. side would add some inbetween height for the diorama.
I love it Bryan! Although if it stays there much longer, you'll need some diagonal rust streaks
Cheers
