Time for the next steps in my personal battle with unfinished shelf queens and enforced isolation! In this second part of the Academy M113 ACAV Vietnam diorama in 1/35th scale, I tackle making simple terrain using foam board and creating terrain features such as grass and mud as the scenery begins to take shape. I also finish off some of the figures by adding laces to the plastic and sculpted figures from Part One and constructing the resin figures and cart from Callsign Models.

It includes advice on creating terrain features, sculpting mud and adapting stock plastic figures for vehicles and dioramas.
