Re: Tiger v Wall
Love the wall. The Tiger ain't bad either it looks like it's just come from another diorama titled "Tiger v Hedge"

Re: Tiger v Wall
That's brilliant David. The Tiger really bursts through that wall convincingly. I love the attention to detail like the dust/brick scatter on the tank front, and the saplings growing up against the wall.
The past, present, and future walked into a bar. It was tense.

Re: Tiger v Wall
Thanks Ben, looking at the pictures I see things that I could have done and things that I will try next time. Do we ever really finish these things?

Re: Tiger v Wall
Great result on both Wall and Tiger!
I like to carve old kits into something roughly aircraft/tank shaped...

Re: Tiger v Wall
I absolutely love that David - that's competition winning good IMHO. Every aspect is superb, the wall, the debris, the tank, the figures, the ground surface etc. etc.
So I have to ask (because I wanna do it now), how did you make the bricks?

Re: Tiger v Wall
An excellent scene
What did you use for the foliage, it looks like a holly tree.

Re: Tiger v Wall
Thanks Jim and Stuart. The foliage was made from dried plant things from Sainsbury's where they sell the flowers. I dunked them in a green oil paint wash, painted the main branches brownish, smeared on PVA with a toothpick and sprinkled on the most leafish looking grass powder stuff I had. The foliage was also experimental as I've never tried doing anything like it before.
