Rampage at the Western Front...
Posted by Thecat40 on Monday, March 26, 2012 2:24 PM

Or the last act of bravery, or the Sticky Bomb...

Here's my first attempt on a diorama.

The Tank is Dragon's Kit #6160 - Panther Ausf.A Sd.Kfz.171

Diorama base is from Verlinden.

Very nice!

Congrats to your first diorama! Turned out nicely.

I especially like the heroic theme - the ultimate sacrifice. Found this pic on the net on the same theme, but in a different setting:

Great work for your first diorama. Will there be any additions to the theme such as location, tank unit, etc. Might be just my eyes but I couldn't see the divisional markings, but I assume it's SS.

Love the heroic addition which makes it so much more than just another tank busting through a wall.

Really love your Panther Felix, especially that hard-edge camo. If i have one critique is that with a tank going through all that debris it would get quite dirty and dusty. I'd also like to see some washes on those wheels to help those bolts pop out too. Beer

Great job for a first diorama.

Good use of figures to tell the story.

Look forward to your next projects.

Regards

Thank you everyone for the kind comments... I agree washes would help. I may have to go back to this build and do more detailing and washes. About division... I believe it was a SS Panzer Division.

Some close-up pics of the actual focal-point of the dio would have been nice...
