Thank you gentlemen :)

It's a lot of trial and error, so I'm still not 100% happy with it. Good thing the grass will hide a few bad spots :lol:

Gary - it's hard to see but the M8's tracks are about 5mm deep. But I can add a little more ;)

Nice :mrgreen: .
I'd suggest to give the grass a little shot of some brown-ish colour with the AB to tone it down.

Thanks again everyone :)

The colour of the grass isn't quite as fancy in real life, but I'll try to tone it down a bit. Maybe dusting on some pigments will help...I have a feeling that using the airbrush will only cause many more problems :lol:

Well, I can barely believe it myself, but I think I'm mostly done here:

"We must leave. Now."

Image

"Why? The Americans are still 20 km away!?"

Image

"Yeah, but the old farmer who owns this swamp and his pitchfork are over there..."

:lol:

Incorrect parking... in the mind of the normal German a capital offence worthy of execution in the best case, more likely something cruel and unusual :lol: .

Nice on Philipp! That would make you the first one to finish this time? :mrgreen:

Thank you Raoul & Vincent! :)

Unless I find something to improve (suggestions are welcome), I'll take a few pictures and send them to Gary in the next days. Need to clean up my bench first :lol:

That looks Fab Philipp :D

The groundwork is tremendous set off by the wet effects. Just what Noch product did you use? I rather feel we must be told ;)

Oh and great figures :P
