Cheers guys I am happy with them so far, wish I had more time left. But I'll be happy if I can get them weathered before I put them of the shelf I'll be happy. :thumb2: I'll come back to it in April and finish and then tackle the diorama.

Mike this farmer does do the rounds a bit :crazy: be interesting how many times he makes a appearance in 2015

I've taken my foot off the gas recently so I'm trying to get back into this Dio of mine!!

I've started the base for this and added some stones as part of a rock face.

I've also primed this now, so will be adding some colour to it. Then the vegetation and trees.

The grass was from woodland scenic's in 3 different colours. The mud was from Vallejo water effects but for some reason didn't dri clear so I painted it in 3 different Browns from Mig ammo range. I then gloss over it.

Thanks Antonio, the dio itself didn't take that long to do. Just lots of PVA glue and 3 shades of grass and a few grass tufts from Fields of glory (eBay) the shrubs and trees are from MK35. All I did with them was drill a hole and glue them in place.

Give it ago it's really easy.
