I knew I had to ask ! Great ! Thank you for all your comments, that's helpful and much appreciated.

I will try and fix as many issues as I can among the ones you mentioned :

-The pattern has to be denser and smaller
-Edges have to be less sharp than they are ---edit : less angular---
-I'll remove the star on the belt buckle (had not even seen it… can't hide the soviet origin of the figure any longer…)
-and I will try to give a different tone to the pants and vest, so that they meet the Finnish Defence Forces' General Order.

I just knew it! Joking (?) about some general order will lead into misunderstanding. And it did.

There is no such rule. It´s because of really numerous variation of colours on m/62 camo that there´s high propability for jacket and trousers being of different shade. They can also be of very same shade!

Some additions to Your tweak list:
- there´s only one chest pocket with just one button on the left corner of the flap (left side)
- jacket is most often over laping the trousers
- one larger pocket on the right pelvis (two buttons)
- trousers have a thigh pocket on the right

I apologize about that FDF order thing, I have hearded it so many times, that I wasn't even sure was it joke or not, obviously it really is.
So there has been also M/62 camo overalls, good to know.

I tried to correct the camo as this fig is the testbed for the others on the diorama.

I will add the various missing pockets afterwards (thanks Jukka :) ). And no worries about the "FDF gen order".

Here goes


As this is also a Maz-537 build, I gave the truck and trailor its basic light green coat (still a 50/50 mix of Tamiya XF5 and X8) this afternoon.







Nice this way, no ?

Next is dark green layer.

Hi Richard,

The camo looks good for me.
Richard Pottier 22.11.2009 18:36  
Here's an update with the three tone camo being done. weathering not done yet.



In place on the diorama base :





What about installing the BMP-1 on the flatbed to show to advantage how weathering is necessary…




Takes good shape, no ?

I hope you guys like it. Let me know :-D

That would be awesome to see live. Great work so far.

Whoaah! Awesome work!

Is that road going to be dry? I think that a muddy road would look better with this model. Trees look realistic too. The forest needs much more small trees, bushes etc. Like in this picture.

Only if you want it to be an actual forest. It's not mandatory by any means. Not all roads are immediately surrounded by thick forest.

In (eastern) Finland, almost all small roads are surrounded by thick forest.

I think it this dio is great. Maybe a dead tree and couple of ones lying in the ground but that´s it. Forests are harvested in many places… Or the nature is so dry…
