hi andy. yes! that looks fantastic! very nicely done. build, colours, weathering, its all good. loads of nice detailing in there. i've just finished building my KV-1 and i've now primed it. if you've got any tips and advise let me know?!

[Guest]

Realy good work there, nice detailing and paint job.

Never done one of these, so maybe its time in the future for one.

Thanks

Cheers fellas

I haven't got any tips really as I'm learning as I go along. All I can suggest is get as many reference photos as you can find

I think I'm becoming a AFV addict, they have a brutal charm all there own, more cash on it's way to the model shop

Hi all, I haven't fallen off the end of the world, just busy with boring stuff, work huh?

Anyhow, here are a few snaps of the dio base I've come up with, it's constantly evolving and I'm actually a fair bit further on than this now

Waiting for some scenic materials etc to arrive in the post and I'll be getting more done

Hi Andy

Lovin' the dio so far - the foliage on the trees looks superb. What did you use - laser-cut paper, dyed silver birch seeds, doesn't look like herbs? Thatch roof looks cool too.

Great progress - looking forward to seeing this one complete.

Thanks fellas

The tree foliage is indeed dyed seeds from "Treemendus", the thatch on the Izba is plumbers hemp

Just a little more green stuff and the pond water to do, plus the edges need smartening up a bit, then I'll start sticking the plastic bits on

Thats one wickly good base there!

The grass looks better than my back gardens does!!!

Neat trick with the plummers packing for the thatch.
