Hi Phill
I would go with rjwoods advice in the not pushing it about or playing with it the only part on mine that moves it the front steering so i can turn them to fit a diorama but the wheels them self they do not turn no need for it after all its a model to look at and be proud of.
As for your halftrack it looks great if you need any help just let me know only too pleased to help out.

Robert.

sorry for this late advice, but after 1943? i think the germans stopped painting the interior white due to aircrafts spotting them, i think they changed the interior either to black or gray...

Hi guys

sorry about the delay. I have nearly completed my half track now and I am very pleased with it. I will post some more pics during the next couple of days.

I am now learning about weathering techniques, but the next advice that I need is about dioramas. I would love to put this into a realistic setting. I like the idea of a ruined buidling street scene.

However I have never done this before and want to know the best way to make a first attempt. I have looked at the mini art buildings and think these look good and they also contain the base/road.

What are your thoughts on using these? Are they a good first place to start?
