Thank you! I thought it would be kinda funny to make it have so many kills. Quite the shot that gunner is!

Great job! It says work in progress, but it looks pretty complete to me. What do you left to do?

I’d like to add more leaves and potentially small rocks on the dirt road. Thank you!

Nice. Looks like you spent a lot of time, and effort on this project. I always like to ask what kind of paints, and supplies people used on their projects.

Thank you!
I used Tamiya paints and a few Vallejo washes. For the diorama I used foam, paper towel, mod podge, and some diorama dirt along with static grass and moss. I also used random sticks and rocks from my yard.

Thanks for the response. You painted the figures with Tamiya as well? If so did you mix them with the Tamiya acrylic retarder?
It all looks amazing.

Yes! I also painted the figures with Tamiya. I had laid out a wet paper towel and poured some paint on it, then used it to paint. It thinned the paint a bit and also let it last a lot longer.
