Tank looks superb. Looking to see the dio come to life too.
Its been tried and tested, it works! So don't blame the system if you're no good. :doh:

I've finished painting one of the tanker figures so I'll show the process I took , since I'll be painting the other figures the same I'm only going to show each step for this particular figure.

Pre-shading (sorry for the blurry picture , my camera has a hard time focusing on the figures)

Image

Face and hands painted , for this I used Shane smyth's tutorial;

Image

Uniform base coated using Ak interactive's paint set;
Image

Here's how the figure looks after a wash of citadel agrax earthshade and highlighting. For my first time painting a figure in a while, I'm quite happy with it :)

So , I finished painting the figures , attached them to the tank and base and added some woodland scenics turf and grass tufts to the base.
As it stands now I'm going to call it finished (Though I might add some spruce trees to the back) , I'll be posting the final reveal with some better pictures soon.

Any comments or critisim are welcome,
and thanks for watching the build. :) :th:

Thank you for the kind words chaps, regarding the figures, they're from tamiya's new US tank Cher set (35347) Hope that helps InitialProduction. :th:

I love the diorama base. Simple setup but its beautifully done. I'm on the WWS website now looking at their products. Looking at getting into dioramas myself.

Inspirational stuff - thanks Mate :cheers2:
