Thank you Steve  ;D

Im working on the pictures. Have to resize them because Imgur can't handle the size of the images. However it is getting late.

A small teaser for now  ;)

First off - thank you all for the warm comments and motivation during this build! It was nice to be allowed to build a armored car on a WW1 plane focused forum  ;D

This was really a milestone project for me! I had to learn so many new things to make it all come together in the end. First figure, learning to paint bricks, stone and using natural materials to blend it into a real scene / diorama (?).

It was a fairly simple scene I had in mind when starting the project. Just a little thing that lets the viewer imagine / make up a story.
Im pleased I got pretty close to the image I had in my mind  :)

Hope you enjoy.

Stunning results! The brick work and stone road are fabulous examples of painting and weathering. The car and figure are Awesome!

Superb! That's turned out really well, you need to have no fear about painting figures from now on. Or bricks, or groundwork. More dioramas in future please...... ;)

Thank you very much RAGIII and Nigel  ;D

I could very well see myself trying more projects like this one! Now it does not see quite that scary anymore and I feel like there's much potential to progress and learn

The paintwork is outstanding! I especially like the painting of the larger steel plates, they really come thanks to your use of subtle chipping, flecks of paint and different shades of colour.
