M4A3 finished and on a small base

Men, Ladies,

I just finished this Tamiya Sherman OOB and I'm trying my hand at small dioramas. I like the wood with the bark still attached as it adds to the scene.

I sprayed the base with the Floquil "dirt" texture spray can and I like how the color looks. Next time I'm going to add some "mossy dirt" of the same paint.
Here is the spray I used.

Then I added some tree stumps made by Bayardi (Trees & boulders). I then applied some clearcoat gloss in random areas and then I poured some fine dirt and static grass. After I shook off the excess I sprayed the whole thing with dull coat to try to keep it all down.

The pictures.

I "think" I'm done with this one. I do like how that wood base/bark looks.

Thanks for looking!
Chris
 
Looks good, Chris! You're right about the bark looking good, really sets off the edge. Maybe get the tank to sink into the ground work a little more on the next one? (y)
 
yes sir! you are reading my mind. I'm thinking about using my winter cammo'd Bradley and make an attempt at snow :blink
 
Very nice Chris (y)

The base does justice to your very nice Sherman! The bark makes the base blend in with the groundwork, very nice! :popcorn

Cheers Erik
 
Well dang, that's quick and easy, here I am mixing up all sorts of stuff. Looks really good Chris, thanks for sharing! :mpup
 
I really like how this turned out. That base is surely an eye catcher. There's a couple of technical things, but as a Shermaholic I always see those. Overall a build to be proud of.
