Hi Andy,

Thanks...    yes the tracks are Fruil. For trees I typically rip weeds out of the ground and examine the roots. I will bash the dirt off and let them dry out. Then paint, add a little wash and dry brush, add leaves if needed and viola!,,,   pretty realistic trees at very little cost.

Enjoy the ride!

Outstanding diomara! Bow Down I like the tracks especially its sagging... I assume they are AM tracks?  Also, I liked the tree... was it scratch built?  Thanks for sharing! Yes

Yeah, pretty sure he's Hornet... at the risk of hijacking your thread, here's my dude:

Your figures, and the Pz IV, turned out better looking than mine. I did the Pz III H

Thanks Steve

Honestly I don't recall what manufacturer is responsible for the "relieving" soldier. It is a metal figure and had been in my figure storage bin for years....  thought this dio would be a good place for him. And the area he's placed really fit the circumstance.

Enjoy the ride!

This is way cool. What is cracking me up is that it reminds me very much of a dio I did a few years back, all the way down to the Hornet Figure relieving himself.

Yours looks much better than min did, tho Big Smile

A couple of pics of a recent diorama. 35th scale Dragon Pz IV F (very nice kit). Added Fruil metal tracks and a host of figures (Dragon, Italeri, Tamiya, Hornet Heads, etc.). This is more figures than I usually include in any of my scenes. It was a fun build,, hope you enjoy.
