Very convincing job. Authentic looking use of the foliage. Reminds me on some real leopards that I've seen just in miniature
Tanks alot.... :wave:

It does! I wanted to do similar with my own Leo2, how did you do the foliage?

Well, I got a light green net, and some of those lichen and bushes they use in dioramas. To keep the net on, I used thread and really watery white gum on the hull and turret. The foliage used the same, though the ones that have more of a chance of falling off have a really tiny bit of cement on their stems. I tried to be as careful as I could do as to not get the cement on the gun or the plastic hull.

Great to see it at this stage. Been a few bumps along the way, but I hope you find the package worth it in the end :thumbup:

I really couldn't have done any of this without your help.
