    Nice! One of these days I will get around to one of my Trumpy T-34's.
    Gotta put something under those tracks to "activate" the suspension a bit, would make it even more dynamic.

    Alrighty then, slap me for bein tardy and not seeing this sooner Dave. Another killer project packed with intense detail and brutal reality. Once again you never fail to add the bits and pieces that often go unnoticed to bring the dio to life, Yehaaaaaaaa.. And......Large Scale Baby! Lovin this one Brother, got it bookmarked and standing by for more.

    Cheers, Ski.

    P.S. There's a few bucks in this dio I'll bet.

    Hi All

    A quick update! I have made some more additions to the groundwork which will be completed once the building is painted...there will be a ton more pipes, metal, rubble, wire etc but added at a later date.
    I have also added the primary coat for the building and will now concentrate on painting each individual brick with different tones/hues etc:-

    The windows will be sandstone and I am yet to add some chunky bits of broken wall, but I can now don the paint brushes!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Hey Dave,
    Which metal tracks did you use for the T-34? I have been looking at getting some sets for mine, but couldn't decide which ones to go with

    The scene you've created is un-freaking-believable!!! Even the detail on the backside of the base :nailbiting: WOW

    I don't think I've seen a more realistic bit of model architecture as this... I'll be following closely

    quick update, just started to add the variable brick tones to the walls and I have also added some variable colours to the groundwork. Once I have added a further two types of tone, I will then use a sponge to add texture, followed by a coat of varnish and finally, wash in the in the mortar!! pain.jpg pain2.jpg pain1.jpg

    That's truly incredible what you are doing here. You got my admiration...

    By the way where do you go with your huge dioramas. There must be a fair bit of space at your place..

    Keep up the great work!

    Nice!
    I love the guy in the tank, and using the Jeff Shui figure climbing on the back really uses that pose well. When I first saw the figure thats how I pictured him being used , climbing over or on to something,perfect for your scene. Will be looking forward to seeing more
    Cheers

    WOW... I'm completely blown away by the detail and realism of the the building and groundwork. With the figures in, I'm getting a feel of where this story is going. VERY COOL!!!!!
    Waiting for the figs to get some colour. When do you feel for completion.... sometime in 2015?;)
