Luigi I sort of charged of a bit ,but I will answer any questions Deano thanks its a combo when done between Snow, ice/snow and ice I did a snow Diorama a while back and I have planed for a while a T80 now THE T80 I HAVE SCRATCHED AND BASHED is ok but the snow hides a few minor errors to late to adjust.. I have a work shop Diorama planned later were I will use the new Trumpeter kit. right then I needed to keep this simple and effective slight angle to the diorama was needed. I then got some Mini art wall sections made my wall added a few touches set out some foam board cut it to look like large concrete slabs. .  DSC09176 by macmcconnell, on Flickr. Well I can here the well its a wall ......great......and? The wall was sprayed with Halfords Red Oxide weathered with AK products the concrete was painted with warhammer fortress grey. Mac |

Ok I guess just putting the wall up was a bit mean , as said this is on going,but even something as simple as this diorama base can give great results. First up I wanted to add some colour other than white. . Once wall was painted on with the hairspray mask off and on goes the flag. .  DSC09182 by macmcconnell, on Flickr. .Bit of rubbing and off we go still micro work to do on it. Now the detail gang would have seen the track. .  DSC09180 by macmcconnell, on Flickr. I thought these old rubber band jobs scrubbed up well. .  DSC09181 by macmcconnell, on Flickr. .And the other pile. |

So quick re cap from this. . DSC09176 by macmcconnell, on Flickr .to this .  DSC09177 by macmcconnell, on Flickr. I still have loads to add and trim but stick with it. .  DSC09179 by macmcconnell, on Flickr. . I do have to now start adding the weeds and over growth that would appear no to much but enough to give the appearance of elapsed time. Rgs Mac |

Sweet spring setting Mac! Rubberband could have fooled me. Very nice composition. Where did you get those plants?

You're capturing the look/feel perfectly on this one Mac, all you need is to start typing your posts in Russian to complete it!  |

Thanks Bill
Just another splash of colour. I never cut out the plastic that was in the door way I just aged detail to the plain plastic from the vac form.

Appearantly I had to catch up on this one Mac !!! But man I am enjoying this. The diorama wall looks fantastic and the door pics made me think they were reference pics. Not many modellers have the guts to go for an icy/melting snow look.
