Wow! Looks great Dan! Great weathering and I really like the use of real wood. Looks really.....real, lol.

I will be stealing the train track idea too!

Good work fella!

Absolutely stunning mate! I love the mud effect - if I steal that idea does that make me a tea leaf?!?! (for all you non-English folk Google Cockney rhyming slang.) I wish I'd seen your completed model before I started my dio base, I would have done a lot of things different.

Again with the great looking dio! What is it with you armor boys??? Seriously though, great work on this. Love how the old Matchbox half track came out, I remember building one of those when I was in my teens!

Fantastic diorama. The Sherman and Flak Halftrack look terrific. Nicely done ground work and composition of the scene. Also like the way you embedded the vehicles into the ground....makes a very realistic effect.
