Thank you, friends!! Well, we're rounding third and headed for home! Still shiny, but have the pin washes in place, tracks weathered and installed and the beginnings of the base.
The base is 1/2" Dow Styrofoam, with the "ruts" carved in. I plan to cover the foam with Celluclay and see what I can come up with for the churned earth where the track failed. :S :pinch:
The vehicle still has a few bits and pieces to be installed and then I'll flat coat and dust it down.
Thanks for checking in!! :drinks

Thank you, friends, you are too kind! 
Time for a mini update, I visited Casa De Dogwood a couple weeks ago for an experiment and build day. Moon Puppy purchased a tree kit from Treemendus and suggested I add one to my vignette. hmy: :pinch:
We broke out the wire and started bending and twisting our way toward something that resembles a tree, I snaped off a couple of shots while the Pupster was doing minor adjustments and inspecting my work.
No one will confuse us with Mother Nature!! :laugh:
As always, the day went way to quickly and I set the tree aside for a day when I could have time to add the "bark". While waiting on the paving to dry for my King Tiger, I re-read Ant's directions and mixed up a batch of bark powder. Mine is not as artistic and lifelike as Ant's, but passable for a first attempt.
As you can see, the upper limbs are drying, revealing the color of the bark. Ant suggests a wash over the bark after a 24 hour drying time.
Can't help thinking about the trees from The Wizard Of Oz, "What do you think you're doing?"
Much more to come...
