Simon NagorsnikThank you very much for your feedback marcin!
The dio basis from black dog are good starting products.
With a few refinements and details you can quickly achieve good results!

Simon NagorsnikHi forest fan!
In this case i used a resin dio base from back dog which I change a bit and add scratch elements.
You can find this in the project.
With my own creations, I think about how it should be and simply hope that it works it work in any way😉
chance usually decides and it is also often the case that I have to start over.😅
But seriously; i have learned a lot from publications and i still need to improve!

Christian BruerI much like the layouts of your little gems. A lot of bits and pieces and different sceneries in such small space and it does not look overdone, but attracts the viewers eyes 👍 Not to say something about the highest level of painting and weathering - Very well done and thx for sharing

Simon NagorsnikThank you so much for your truly edifying comment Christian 😊
This is one of my first finished 1/72nd scale projects and relaese here on SCM.
The ideas for this dio have changed several times during the construction phase, for example, the Merkava was not planned for it at first 😅
And when I got into the right flow, more and more details were added.
This project was also one of the first of which I was a little proud, because my career in 1/35th hadn't really been successful until then...
However, thanks again for your comment!

Album info
This is one of my first finished projects in 1/72nd scale.
For this project i've used the HobbyBoss Merkava Mk.IV (82915).
A nice kit with good details.
I removed the fan and exhaust grills and changed them through PE grills.
I also improved some small details.
I've added antennas, .50 ammo belt and used resin turret- chains and side skirt parts from Modell Trans Modellbau (MT72202/ MT72239 ).
There is a large gap above the tension wheel that needs to be closed.
The Black Dog (D72010) I resin dio- base is improved with much additional scratch elements.
Figures are from Modell Trans Modellbau, Armory (F7219) and Caesar Miniatures (H057).
