1/48 scale Dio : "Under Shermie's cover"
Posted by katootsv2 on Wednesday, August 1, 2007 7:17 AM

Hi all, just complete this dio today. All kit, accessories and figs are Tamiya 1/48 scale.

The tree is scratchbuild with reference on the "know-how" to an old thread found here in FSM forum. 

Let me know what do you think/feedback or suggestions to improve for a better outlook. Thanks in advance!

And the rest can be found here:

US Dio 

 Cheers!

Figures and tank look great, especially for 1/48.  The groundwork is good, but I think some color variaton could make it look even better.  Drybrushing on the dirt, tree foliage and ground voer would make it look less like just one shade each of brown and green, and more natural and realistic. The tree's green also looks too intense and bright in my opinion.  Great work though!

In my opinion...the tree is one of the nicest pieces of the dio. I believe it could be dropped a little in brightness but other then that I believe the rest of the ground work should live up to the trees standards.

 

I am no artist and ahve not even started my own dio, so i cannot say much with any weight but i just speak my mind.

 

I also love the weathering on the tank. Very nicely done
