Still working on it! I made a small base with a photo frame. The hit was washed and flat coated.

Thanks. I still have to paint the figures (they are base coated now) and add some tools and foliage/shrubs.

That is coming along really nicely Borg! Are you planning on adding figures?

Edit - D'oh - missed your last post - so ignore the question.

Looking forward to seeing the figures etc. on it.

I have some figures by Hasegawa (different sets), Heller (those soft vinyl things) and Airfix (came with the hut). I will paint them all and then experiment with some poses/postitioning. This is my second diorama so I am still learning to "tell a story" with a dio.

I started on the figures. First a brown base, then a first layer of flesh colour and Japanese khaki.

All in all I am painting ten figures. I am not sure if I will use them all.

Very cool! Where did you get the set with the horses? Is this a 1/35th scale project? I also have the Jungle Outpost in 1/72 scale.

It is 1/72 and the horses came with the Airfix set.
