1/48 AFV Diorama. (WIP)
I thought some of you might like to see the project I am working on right now.

It is a German WWII military Non-Combat setting that will have a reasonable variety of vehicles and figures on it.



Now it still has a very, very long way to go until it's finished and these are only progress pictures, so be kind.




















Right now I am painting up more figures and building the Bandai BMW R75.
I have just finished the Modelkasten 1/48 'Wittmann & tank crew'.
(I repainted the Wittmann figure after I decided I didn't really like the colour of his jacket.


(I have since gloss clear coated over the boots of the two figures with matt boots. - The figures were sprayed with a Matt clear coat prior to this.)

Their boots need to be weathered a bit, but I am leaving the final touches until the diorama is almost complete and I know the final positions of all the models and figures.


Now, back to work...



Cheers,
Dave

Great job !

I know how difficult is it to make a large diorama, yours is really good to me.
