Well I've finely got the dio done.
It's Dragons firefly build OOB, the figure is from Warrior with a Hornet head.
I'm still working on my figure painting but it's slowly getting there (well that what I think )












In this shot the colors are like the really are (the others are a bit to orange)








let me know what you think

Hello Jan,nice build on the firefly and figure.The only thing i can sugest is some track marks showing how the tank got there,at the moment it looks like it was lifted onto the sand,also some variation on the grass i.e height and maybe some weeds etc.I think you have done a great job on the figure i like the cammo

I like the layout and the damage to the Sherman, but i think that the damage is a little to even in color and lacks some texture - burned paint leaves flakes and ashes.

The grundwork looks a little empty, and as Steve says, could use a little more variation.

Maybe some soot around the other hatches ?

Otherwise its a eyecatcher.

Cheers

You are most welcome, but there is no need to hurry to the LHS (unless you really need an excuse :-) ), a trip in the nature might just do the trick, like some crumbled twine, some grundup leaves, some dirt etc. often is enough and leaves money for kits ..
