New Tiger Dio

Posted by Anonymous on Tuesday, January 3, 2006 11:54 PM

Hi all

Here are some pics of my latest effort. I called it The Clearing. Sticking to a simple idea, a German tank crew find a nice spot to take a break.
Hope you like...Glen

Nice, simple, no action going on at all, sometimes these are the best dios, very excellent! The Tiger looks great, and those trees...woo hoo, excellent. The B&W shot is my fave!

Love these little "break" dios. Very effective. Can you please elaborate on the groundwork, foliage, grass, and trees...?

Hi Zok

The groundwork is just a thin covering of paper mache over the wood base. Then Real Grass and Green Grass from Dioramaterials.
The rocks come from my back yard.
The trees I made from scratch (http://www.trevinocircle.com/sippin/) and just some scatter under them to simulate fallen leaves.

I skimped a bit on the groundwork this time. Most of the effort went on that damn Dragon Tiger!

Thanks
Glen

First, awesome! Now, is that the Verlinden update set with opening turret basket. Is that the Tamiya kit? How was the virlenden set (if that's the case)?
