First Dio Ever - M-ATV Unexpected Attack

[adampolo13]

Hello Everybody,

I am working on my first Dio ever for the BSC over on SMA. But since I'm a member here now I wanted to get everyone here up to speed too. ;D

The general story line is that the M-ATV stopped on a hillside in a (safe zone) and got a little lazy. I.E. The driver left his riffle in the cab.

Here are pics of the Dio Progress:










Thanks for looking!

P.S. Along with building a base, this will also be my first time painting figures.

You are on your way with this! I like the base work. I must admit I have been slacking getting to see all the great builds in the BSC. I will have to take some time and catch-up on this over there!! Keep it going!!

So I've decided not to go forward with this. Here are a few pics...











Thanks for taking a look.

Love the weathering effect. Is this suppose to represent faded paint or mud? Hard to tell.

[adampolo13]

It's supposed to be mud... Its my first attempt at any sort of weathering so I have a lot of work to do.

Very nice, and good to see one of these in a dio. Good luck with the BSC.
?? what did you use to form the base ??

Thanks guys!!!

Scratch I used a compilation of Styrofoam and putty to form the base then I made a mix of sand and white glue/water and covered up it all up.

Thanks guys. Its been a fun build and I've learned a LOT!
