I've done (or attempted) to replicate a couple diorama from the old Monogram box covers. One I do remember is the Patton Tank. Can't remember what the other one was.
Have a look here and see if it is among the ones listed.
Yup... that's the one I tried to replicate. Used old cement pieces and large pebbles / rough stones, tree twigs, sand, etc... If my memory is correct, I added bullet holes by heating a tip of a small nail and placed them in various spots on the tank.

That's it!! It was the crashed B-17 diorama. Oh the memories of melting the prop blades enough to bend inwards. And the bullet holes too. It was ugly by the time I was finished with the diorama.

Yeah but it was doing those things that got us to where we are today. Also nothing like getting out the plastic army men with a hastly built model and popping them with the pellet gun

It's there, just very very light. If you wasn't looking for it you might completely miss it. I guess that's better than over done. My next build instead of using a light or medium grey I will use a lightened shade of the camo paint. I'm thinking that would give a better result. But for only the second time trying this salt fading I'm happy with the outcome. I will get some close up shots up hopefully tomorrow of the tail where it's the most noticable
