Anyway - I built up the area under the tree with an tube of squadron green filler (a mistake as it happens as it's warped the DVD) and then covered everything in a white acrylic paste (the type painters use to add volume to their paint). While this was wet I used the tank to make the track marks and then pushed the tank and the figures into the paste while it was wet.

Once it dried they were fixed into place, so I then painted the track marks with dark earth and weathering powders and flocked everything else.

I really enjoyed this build and learnt a few things about making dios.

Cheers
