Thanking you. This was my first go at a diorama with figures only in 1/48. I did it Last year. It’s a nice little scene with quite a bit going on considering the size and scale. It’s an officer training cadres and was the first time to use tamiya grass and some twigs from the park. ![](https://i.ibb.co/9GqSLFk/B9-C16937-754-F-488-C-919-C-0778-BC5-B33-EF.jpg) ![](https://i.ibb.co/zPHz6Qd/5-C5860-C1-9-F3-A-4652-A3-FE-46779-B8-C07-A9.jpg)
Considering my limited experience at the time, it is a job well done and tells a nice little story.

Looks mighty fine Tommy ![8-)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/cool.png) .Troops on training isn't something seen very often, in fact I haven't seen this done at all ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

Someone is going to be on a charge for leaving their weapon unattended while they take a dump!!!!! Seriously though, my first attempt at a water feature but the stuff just soaked into the modeling clay.

I’ve got the heads on now, as you can see. A bit more painting - cap badges and like. But before that, all the uniforms are the same colour so going to lighten up a jacket here and trousers there to give them the sun bleached look. The 2 in the middle are Panzer Art, the leuitenant looks the business. ![](https://i.ibb.co/6tBM4Vv/42-F17315-B054-4-FE4-997-F-DEBDCF4-C553-F.jpg) Monty still needs his ‘tache painting.

Thanks everyone. In part it is because of a new kolinski red sable brush.

So after a bit of weathering and highlighting I am this far. ![](https://i.ibb.co/FqJYLYd/02-DAC801-7-BF3-43-BB-BBE6-E43-E81-D70713.jpg)
Bit too much dust on the guy on the left, but he is the driver. And Monty has a new jumper. ![](https://i.ibb.co/TMCM0dc/5-CE5-BA2-C-FA50-4674-9816-5-BE7-BB6-A0-F2-A.jpg)

Are you eye balling me son? No sarge!!!! After a couple of weeks, the heads had gone manky so they needed doing again. This time I went for the eyeballs. The better quality figures are a lot better than the others. I will put them in a more prominent position on the dio. After seeing snipersmudge’s camo jackets. My uniforms need a reappraisal,too. ![](https://i.ibb.co/ZfvM6D9/6-F7-C04-A1-2-B05-4-CD7-A551-E718-BBA1-A880.jpg) ![](https://i.ibb.co/52Vgycy/CF2872-B9-C1-E4-4990-8-DC5-063-AB5-DB6-E83.jpg)
