Hi guys,

well I finally finished my Sherman diorama. I had to have it finished for a contest I'm entering it next week Sunday. I'm entering this diorama and my Messerschmitt diorama. The diorama contains the Tamiya M4A Sherman and the M4A1 Sherman and the Tamiya Infantry set. The diorama is 1/48. The grass is made with paintbrushes cut up and then glued on the base. I then airbrush it till I got the color I wanted. So this will be in a contest next week in the diorama section. Maybe I win something, maybe not we'll see. :wink:

Very nice indeed, Matt; you can really see a lot of work went into it with the grass work and all... one thing to consider though; if the lead Sherman went through the hedgerow, there wouldn't neccesarily be a "track path" leading through it, like a well-worn lane of double rows as you have it portrayed here. I understand that your intention is to show the path of the tank, but just flattened grass would've been more realistic, maybe with it "chewed up" a bit...the ground that is chewed up and exposed would probably be a more brownish color, like fresh earth; or are you intending to show that the earth is sand-based?
