" And now something completely different "

A few words about the base that dakota will be put on. It's made of styrofoam covered with toalet paper fixed with wood glue, painted with grass green for basic colour.



And the concrete areas put on place, all made from plaster :

Beside the Dakota on the diorama a VW Beatle will be diplayed, it's a Tamiya's kit in 48 scale, I used a resin door and Eduard photo etched set. It's easy to build kit, I really enjoyed during the build



Painted and partly weathered concrete surfaces :

Thank you all !
I put on the grass, and I started the making of the " jungle " around the dakota. In the first phase I put in the dry - out plants. The beatle and the tourists are put on their place. The cocnrete surfaces and the ground around them are finished.
