Righto then chaps. Got a little update for you. So I've got matt coat on the Pak and I'm just waiting for wheels and I'll scuff it with pigments quickly.. While that's in the works, I've started a small dio base for it.
It's varnished thick plywood with the edges masked, some polystyrene and plaster to make the basic shape.
Then with 3 different variations of these
sprayed onto the base in random patterns, we have this
Looking toward something like this
Then with 2 varieties of these (again, unmeasured...)
We have this
It has however covered up most of the sprayed colour, but it was only used to provide a base colour. There are going to be a lot of colour variations on this, provided my patience holds up. The remaining pink sections are just bare plaster and are to be base-coloured green, as they are to be grassed over. The brown part is going to be the muddy remains of the crew having scraped their dug-out from the mound. I also have a planked revetment for the sheer side of the mound. I'm going for a prepared, long-term position, not a hastily dug-in one.
This is my first attempt at a dio, so any tips, comments, criticism etc all welcome.
