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:

You are really going all out liam. Who's figure is that? The one standing. I went back through this build log and can't find it. I've missed it somewhere, anyway great build.

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:
