"Road Trip !!"

Perfect Bob... nailed it !! - Just realised I'm praising Bobs' comment instead of Laurence's modelling skills. Looks like you have it 'in the bag' Laurence, although if it isn't too late, you may want to adjust the angle of the stowage so it's hanging vertically when the rear end is pointing skyward !!

Just a thought.

And a very good one Ian - I thought about it myself. First I wanted to make sure the stowage looks good, and, since I wasn't sure about the leg position, angles etc I didn't want to guess. When I get the figure in place I can measure the angle and adjust the stowage accordingly, without forgetting there are two straps on each bag so it won't be 100% "vertical" if that makes sense.

Spot on Ian - bet you've done some judging at competitions in your life

Minor update - stone wall in place. This was done using cat litter. Meow baby :laugh:

Bit of a progress on this one - mostly the terrain and a bit on the figure. Heaps more to do.

The hedges require more trimming, as soon as I put the Jeep on the base I knew it would be a fair bit to chop off.

Lots more to add to the terrain, not 100% happy with the hedges but I will have to ask for your opinion on that - to me it looks a bit ..... :smack

Thanks,

Laurence

Dear Laurence.

Very nice scene...in my opinion,the base must be a darker color...may be black...giving more contrast...anyway you did a great job

Best regards!

Luiz, appreciate the feedback. The base is a photo frame, can give it a darker coat - that is not a bad idea, thank you for your suggestion

Adding a random rock or two that have fallen out of the wall and some taller weeds along the wall will add realism, what do you think? Looking quite like the photo. :drinks

I can't add anything, out of my league

Definitely, first I want to finalise the grass, the very faint yellow dry brushing, tall grass has been added, not much yet, few flowers too, then add the fallen rocks, then add few more things.

Spot on with that observation Mike

MP - I don't think you can't do this better mate, just my opinion after seeing your work

 

[White_Wolf]

Few more things done - stones, grass, flowery bushy thingies , a rooster and mushrooms too
Frame redone, no longer shiny metal but looking like wood now - enjoy and thanks for looking

Jeep not making an appearance yet, wanted to present the base first
