What materials do you use for the diorama buildings?

Thanks. I lived in Germany for 6 years and wish I had stayed there. I love Deutschland!

I see the crew has answered the abbreviations. As far as building materials. I am learning as I go. Primarily coroplast.

It hoids up to paint and hot Florida sun pretty well, Recently I have been working with an insulation foam board. Known as XPS. You can etch the design into it. Paint with a mix of acrylic paint and Hodge Podge glue. It too is holding up to weather.

Some glues will work. Or make a small frame from cheap trim wood. I am still working on the magic combo of materials. The up side is my backyard has its own village for tanks.

SNAFU is:
Situation Normal, All F***** Up
Similarly, FUBAR:
F***** Up Beyond All Repair (or similar)

WIP I take usually as
Work In Progress

Urban Dictionary can help with definitions although I'd say it's NSFW at times (Not Safe For Work).

M4 tracks after a midday drive in slightly damp soil. I was going to clean them but I am kinda liking the muddy look.

100 points from me for "Natural weathering Techniques"
I'll try that mysrelf.
Any "dirty advise" for me?

Stug III.....LOVE IT......ordered one today myself. Nice !!!

The StuGIII is an excellent all terrain performer, it just beat the KT in some thicker vegetation. Just watch where the outer road wheels are rolling. Best to reglue them, it seems to be a PzIII chassis design issue and the fact that they are only press fitted. I like that little tank. CCC

Henglong Tiger II gets a facelift...IBU2 Ultimate / cannon flash & smoke / servo recoil / Visaton speaker

I envy you guys a bit.
One day I'll have the time to go into the detailing.
Great Job Sir!

Here's our Sherman. Our daughter and her 2 cousins put a joint effort into putting it all together. Unfortunately someone rolled it already, breaking the machine gun mount but it's all fixable!

My son has rolled, rammed, trapped, spun and in short "rained havoc" upon the Sherman. It has survived and seen numerous repairs. Still in the game. I did adjust the speed to the lowest setting. That helps.

[Zippersnapper]

Thank you kind sir. Much appreciated.

[761st]

AMAZING! Very nice upgrades. I love the camo. Can't wait to see a video.

It's obvious you don't have ENOUGH TANKS! Fill the bed and we'll talk.
