I'm new to the site and just wanted to show some of my work. This is the Dragon Panzer IV Ausf. C In my First Diorama. I made it in the middle of Last Year.
Here are some other choice pics. I used dried split peas for the cobblestone road and Dragon figures and sculpy for the sidewalk. The setting I was going for is France (insert town) 1942. Didn't weather the tank too much because I figured the troops had lots of time to keep it well mantained.
It was an older Dragon Panzer IV ausf.c kit. Split peas worked great just white glued 'em down sealed them with Future (I think its Pledge with Future now) foor wax and filled them in with wood putty. painted. the wood putty cracked a little when it dried but it looked more natural like a "road".
Thanks for the comments. You think the tank is clean you shoulda seen the engine room on my ship Tony, if we weren't dilling or on watch we were cleaning. ;D
