Started with a rough base and placed a few trees to get the feel of what is to come. Next is painting the Leopard and deciding what I'm going to use to represent the ground cover.

Cool idea. You could probably use Asparagus setaceus for the branches on the tank.

Found some great artificial ground cover this morning in Spotlight & a junk shop that was next door to it. Managed to find some fake Asparagus setaceus looking stuff.

I feel like I'm stuck in the mud, I don't know what to do next, continue with the base or start painting the tank.🤔

Maybe do the base first then you will know what color to weather the tank with later? (my guess?)

Tonight I fixed the edging of the base, I'll let it harden for a few days give it a sand and then start putting on the vegetation. In the mean time I will start painting the tank, thanks for all your support guys.

Slowly but surely this beast is getting painted, hopefully by the time I go to bed tonight all the Nato Black will be on. Then tomorrow will be the painting of the Nato Brown.

Changed my plan and decided to get the base done before I continued on with painting anymore of the tank. Just have to make some very minor changes to the base and it will be done. Should have the whole dio finished by the end of next week.

Looks good! Maybe you can recreate the frozen dew by spraying clear mixed with some white. Its hard to recreate that look but it would be awesome!

Finally, after much delay the Nato Brown is on. Now I'll do a gloss coat and do the decals and weathering.

After a month and a half she's finally finished, the pics aren't the best but it's pretty good to have her in the cabinet.
