Good points braxat.
This came about because I changed the original idea, big mistake.
The 2 Jagdtigers were to be side by side near the trees with infantry erecting camo netting, digging trenches etc. There was no road at all originally!

Is that annoying or what?

Let's just assume some Jabos were zooming overhead as they moved painfully along ...

very nice,
but few improvements can be made for next diorama:

first, the road is too straight. you should put it a bit more diagonal to break the symmetry. also, break the tree line.

second, there are too many open spaces. a diorama is better off without them most of the times - unless there is a specific role for them.
I would have chosen a narrower base, and put the road diagonal to it.

the alst thing I would add are soldiers - to give sense of scale and liven it up a bit.

as it is, it is a very ncie diorama, and to make it even nicer I would have added some figures marching or sitting and looking at the tank while resting.

no offese, just positive criticism.

Larry I agree. The kits did not have the option of an open hatch and I didn't modify them as I decided late to use them in a dio. By then they were painted etc.

Nice little Diorama. Painting of the armor looks very good.

I like it!

One quibble: When AFVs drive around, particularly when not in a combat situation, they generally have at least the commander out of his hatch.

Keep up the good work,

Thanks guys.
The fence is made from bass and balsa wood.
The grass, scrub and trees are from Woodland Scenics.
I used real dirt underneath all that.

"The Jagdtigers Move"
Posted by Anonymous on Monday, May 23, 2005 5:03 AM
Hi everyone.
Thought I would post some pics of my 1/72 dio. The Jagdtigers are Dragon's excellent kits that have great detail for this size. I handpainted them for something different.
This depicts 3/sPzJgAbt 653 moving through Germany in 1945.
As usual, 90% happy with it but learnt a lot for my next one. Hope you like.
