This blog is intended to be a bit different than most in that a big focus will be on the diorama aspects. The focal point will be a Firefly IC (a welded hull M4 based Firefly). This will be built using the new Dragon Sherman III kit and the following Formations sets:
F079 M4 Conversion for the Dragon Sherman III
F022 Low Bustle Firefly Turrret
F018 Sherman Pioneer Tools
F050 Sherman Headlights
F046 Sherman Siren Assortment
F047 Sherman VVSS Track Skids
F013 US Cables and Clamps
The diorama is going to show the Firefly driving over a temporary bridge with a wrecked Panzer I command tank partly submerged in the river below.
I intend to include a number of chapters on making the ground work and also on how to make the water.

| The Treadway Bridge | Aug 4, 2007 |
The Treadway bridge is a Verlinden set that is a pretty simple set to build. There’s only a few parts and for the most part they fit together well. I painted it using the same methods as the tank. For the weathering, I used quite a bit of pigments since this bridge is laying in the dirt and vehicles are driving over it and getting it dusty and dirty. I’m only partially finished with the weathering as the rest will be done once the bridge is installed on the base.
