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.

| Attaching the Bridge | Aug 30, 2007 |
With the groundwork completed, I attached the bridge. To do this, I just mixed up a little more groundwork using the same methods described a few chapters back. I placed a big blob of it under each side of the bridge and pressed the bridge into it. Then I used a large stiff paint brush dipped in water to blend and shape the ground work into the bridge.
