looking good to me very well done so far, ;)

and the tree in the corner looks great

if i may say some think ,just run some wheel tracks in the same color up onto the wood,

so you can see how its been pushed back onto the base area,
 
Don't give up mate,

It looks good from the pics. As for stones paint them gray and then you paint them with a black wash and after they are dry a little drybrusching with white.

looks very good to me and as both Richi ,Tommy say as well,

dont give in ,its your 1st dio, and is looking great, and looking

forward to seeing more, ;)
 
Looks good to me. Once you work out the wash on the rocks and get things to stick properly this is going to look great.,
 
Don't hard on yourself, it looks pretty good to me. To trees, paintbrush bristles for reeds etc always drill a small hole and fasten in that way, makes it alot easier.

Just to add, I tend to use a strong superglue or contact adhesive for trees, rock etc, even silicone sealant has been use in the past. For grass I use PVA, brush it on and then springle or even dab on using tweezers especially around trees etc to show clumping.

This picture of my Bate mansion in 1/72 shows trees etc I used the same techniques described.

Looks excellent from where I'm sitting! Don't know what your 'rocks' are made from but this might help:

You shouldn't have had an issue using them, try some polystyrene chunks-just shape and then paint in acrylics. I use real stones and attach using sealant-they don't move then.

For your first model and dio these is a sterling effort!!!! Don't be afraid to try the suggestions that have been posted.

Most of all don't give up..

Keep going!!!!!!! :) :)
 
I might suggest swapping the car and the gun/trailer. I think the extra details of the gun and trailer (compared to the smooth car) opposite the tree detail will balance it a little better - plus I don't believe they'd put an AA gun so close to a tree 'cos it cuts down the firing angles too much.

Apart from that, which is only my opinion, this looks great so far!
 
That looks nice.

For the Camo netting make a diluted wash of green or brown, then lay it over the place you want it to be, it looks very different then the white, and your tarp, put some plastic foil on the place where the tarp should go, and then put on the papertischu and after that gently wet the papertischu with diluted pva glue let it dry for 24 hours and then another layer of pva. After that is dry you can take it off and can take off the plastic foil and you will have a stable and stiff tarp.

Hope its a little clear what I said.:rolleyes:

Cheers Richi
