Small Scale Military Headquarters

Things are getting colder as we gone on...

I am working on buying US and German armor for my upcoming Bulge diorama!

Here is another sneak peak!

The German stuff is going to look more used then the Allied stuff.

You have been busy lately.

Looks great, nice touch with the rust!

get some snow on those treads and wheels!

I will soon. lol I think the dark muddy stained chassis came out good.

Negative !!!

Keep it as is.

Snow on the tracks looks like the vehicle has covered fresh snow.

This limits diorama potential.

If you go with what you have it looks like the vehicle was on the move.

Plus I just don't like the look.

She looks great as is ,do not over do it.

Great looking Hanomag Flyboy !! The weathering looks incredible.

Maybe you are right! I was going to try to make a little dirty snow with some woodland scenes snow and apply it sparingly to a few places like crew compartment, little here, little there. But now that you mention it It would look better if it where not there. If one of these guys went on road or something I would imagine it would all get knocked off.

flyboy_fx, you want that half track for your dio?, I'll donate it, let me know

Sure, donations are fun. Some destroyed US stuff is needed. lol

It will be on its way, sounds like a great dio

Oh, I thought where it was there in the snow was where it was going to be placed, yea the snow would melt off and fall off very quick on a road, it depends on where you want it on the dio. It looks great as-is!

I think it depends on the pictures available, i've seen ones with mud and snow, some just with the winter camo, no mud.

From my experience with fourwheeling over the years, we have started in the morning with no mud, just snow and yes it sticks to tires and wheels and as the day goes by it turns it in to a mush of mud and snow, so do I think any one depiction is right, you decide

Yea, I will be adding some mushy dirty snow, no clean stuff. Not alot either.

Heres your BOB victim, burnt, blasted or bombed, it will be fun to see what you do with it

Anybody else got a stripped, broken, just not being used piece of AFV to donate? Got a idea Fly boy is going to make one hell of dio, lets throw him some cast offs for his back grounds, make him work alittle harder to fit them in

I have a Tiger thats in about 25 pieces

Okay Jnewboy, the US soldiers do not have Disintegrator rays. LOL

I have A German and US halftrack that I will try to incorporate into the Dio. Just to give any idea of the size, It will either be put in the bottom bunk bend (Once lil bro gets his room) or it will be on a table the size of a bed!

That's what I was thinking, nice job.

How about I make a tutorial on how to make one look destroyed the proper way?
