Nice work. For some reason the tanks don't fit very well for me in an aesthetic sense. Maybe I feel they need more gold or something to match the figures? Overall, very nice cohesive force.
Would love to know how you got the gradiation effect on the basing material between what I assume is cork and the edge of the base? Most time I see cork it looks like someone just glued a piece of cork on and painted it, but the slow gradiation between the cork and the base edge on yours looks very well done. Care to share?

My base formula:
-a circle of Cork in the center of a base
-a mix of fine/medium ballast sand around the Cork to the corners of the base
-Cover it all with black
-Drybrush white very lightly until you get it where you want
-Black on the edge of the base
Gold:
-Retributor Gold
-Agrax Earthshade Gloss
-Highlight with TAMIYA Titanium Gold and/or silver on edges
