Probably it's a bit to early to build a scene from "all we know where". And that T55 would be completly covered under the camouflage out of vegetation, camo tarps and God knows what more. Not to mention the cope cages, cope wire nets, or anti drone "field garages" maded out of nets...

Hi Night Shift! I'm probably gonna get swallowed by the hoard of other comments on here but I'll try my best: I've been watching your videos for a decent while and recently I found myself wanting to get back into this kind of stuff, but its hard because I dont know where to start and what to do! I know this sounds dumb but you should make a detailed long-form video on what a beginner, such as myself, would have to do/buy to start the diorama/model journey.

If you're looking for a very unique wartime diorama to do, I'd suggest looking up the Emu war. Essentially after the war a bunch on returned servicemen took it upon themselves to use their surplus hardware to try and cull a heap of Emus. And..... lost. Its kind of a running joke in Australia that we lost a war to a group of flightless birds.

Funny. This reminds me of the german urban training area that my unit used to go to. It was deaigned before WW2 by the german army and hitler haf the entire town moved and the buildings were used sincefor MOUT. We used them in late 93/early 94 because my battalion was going to Macedonia and we needed the LIC training(low intensity combat). Yes. It sucked. So many limitations. But still fun. We watched German infantry with the Marder do training and it was pretty funny to watch. We ended up training our german suater battalion. At the time, they didn't train as much as us so every chance they could train with us, they took it. I have a hikarious story of a German armor battalion going thru a 30 day gunnery rotation at Graf with us. Letd just say they were not used to 30 days of field work. Lol

I am a simple man. I like what you do when you just pinished cutting and priming the cork and would be more then happy. To me it looked good. And rthen you add this and that 20+ layers and steps. and it looks better after each of them. Because im not aware of what can be done with all these layers, as im a simple man.

Awesome as always! I was thinking of doing a similarly simple base of a busted road with a bit of grass next to it for my T-55 to sit on, and since it's a fictional eastern European world, I thought I would take some inspiration from places like Ukraine and grab a light blue corrugated fence that's a bit rusted and abused in the background to add some contrast and fun detail. Might be a little ambitious for a first time at a base, but it could be fun.
