My Soviet diorama progresses!
I've been working on my diorama base for my Soviet SU-122. Last night I poured a plaster base onto the wooden plinth (which used to be a cheap broken clock from a thrift shop).
Next step is to seal the dirt on the plaster using white glue, and then get painting the dirt!
A video will be coming soon.
Cheers,
Dave

Dirt is sprinkled on the wet plaster to give texture. |

The tank is pushed in to give it a realistic sense of weight.
Nothing worse than a tank sitting on top of rocks and bumps with air visible under the tracks! |

Positioning of figures and other elements so they also sit realistically. |
