The small diorama for the RSO and the StuG IV models. I managed to hide the dodgy work that i did on the RSO's running gear by submerging it in a mire and then dustin with snow for good measure.The basework is polystyrene foam covered with MIX-IT instant paper mache. I drew inspiration from Alex Clark's StuG vignette in the Osprey Modelling the Panzer IV in 1/72 scale and cut a hole to fit the RSO in. I painted the bulk of the groundwork and then nestled the RSO in the remainder of the paper mache which I had reserved for the occasion in a ziplock bag.
Being basically lazy, I used the airbrush to blend the model and fresh groundwork. The snow is bicarb over photomount adhesive.
I'm now having a rest from German armour building the Dragon 1/72 M4A3 76 (W).
