Ardennes Dio -Friul tracks and mug up






Today I did a bit of work on the M4 Sherman Friul metal tracks. Friul tracks are great, though I had to use some thicker brass wire instead of the thin and way too flexible wire that came with the kit. After trimming the wire, a painting and weathering will be up next.

I also found the time to do a simple mug up of the dio. I’m still not satisfied with the positioning of the two SS infantrymen on the left side (okay I know that circles don’t have sides…but you get the point!)

I’ve scaled the dio down a bit compared to the original idea in order to make it more compact and intense. The positioning of the trees looks a bit weird and I still need to work on that. But still, the trees in the Ardennes are planted, so they do actually stand in straight rows.

Later I’ll sand the connections on the wooden sides down to get a smooth and completely round circle. I think I’ll paint them flat black to give a bit of contrast to the snowy surface of the scene.
