New and Help?

so change it from stalingrad to korsun pocket, feb '44. still snow still soviets and germans, and the tank fits.

Ok. I'll try that. It will be more of late winter though, no snow, but still winter uniforms. I don't have any winter Germans right now, but temporarily, they will do. I'm also going to use a half track instead of a PAK 40

Don't try and fit the figures to the base, fit the base to the scene.

Be careful about staging a battle. Unless it's hand-to-hand combat, the scale will betray you. From the looks of your base, the belligerents are 70 feet away from each other. I wouldn't get my tank anywhere within that kind of range of that thing unless it was a complete surprise. It could capably destroy the gun from cover several thousand yards away.

I would also suggest that more than one vehicle (or subject) in a diorama gets dificult because the focus gets blurred. What am I supposed to be looking at?

I might suggest you build TWO dioramas- one of each. That way the dioramas each have a centerpiece, each tells a straightforward story, and scale isn't an issue.

There are several other forums that may be of help also.  There is the armor forum, of course, but also the diorama forum, plus the "techniques" forum often covers this type of problem.
