| I wish it was! I'm afraid I'm a bit more closer to town but I do have my own dry stone wall!

| It would depend on what insignia you have put on the vehicles that you have in the diorama. If they have SS plates then I would paint the figures in SS uniforms and visa versa.

| | Scale Model Member | good call bunker. I just did some research on the jagdtiger I'm using w/ decals and all. I have it painted to resemble a 653rd s. Pz.Jag.Abt, seems the 17th SS Panzergrenadier Division was using some so it looks like I'm going to paint the germans in an SS style. | |

| | Scale Model Member | Sorry I have posted any updates lately. I'm in the process of painting the infantry. I'll try to get some pics up of the new terrain and some of the infantry tomorrow.

| Now with some figures on the diorama is really coming to life. Some of them do come across as a bit shiny though so may well benefit from a coat of a matt clear such as Humbrol if they have been painted with enamels.
The uniforms will look more realistic in a matt finish.

| I agree with Bbarge, those guys look like they jumped into a tub of baby oil :P . Everything is coming along nicely, I have been following this build from the beginning. | |

| | Scale Model Member | sorry I havent posted lately, I've been crazy busy with my classes that I havent had time for much else besides work...  but I've got the tanks all assembled and began to paint them. They are pretty much done but I need some tips on how to do some weathering on them. I was never much of a painter so they arent too eye appealing right now. I dont have any pics and Im in a hurry to leave for class yet again, so I'll try to post some later tonite. In the mean time does anyone have any quick tips for weathering?
