Foundation with the hull glued in and one coat of paint.

Afrika Corps paint job for the tank and a healthy layer of sand for the terrain.

Since sand looks too grainy for the scale, I added some chinchilla dust over it to make it look more desert-y.

After spraying the fixer, the sand took on this uneven colour. Unexpected, but I like it.

That scene rocks. The weathering is great too. I like it. Thumbs up. Will you add some figures?

No, I looked at my local store and I didn't find any British Africa figures that would be suitable. I think I will leave it as is.

Ok. In case that you are still searching for figures, maybe one of these figures would fit to your diorama scalemates.com/kits/107755-miniart-35071-soldiers-tank-riders
But, with or without figures, the scene is riveting

Excellent! I like how you have posed the suspension to make the tank look heavy.

Thanks! I always wanted to do something like this to show off the complicated suspension at work. A word of warning: if you do this, the tracks are not going to be long enough! Thankfully I had the sand shields to hide the gap, but if you try to do this on a model of Sherman that doesn't have them, you will be in trouble.
