My build is set to progress! Just received some static grass today for the ditch in my diorama! 

PS- Did you get the Navion, bufflehead? Just want to be sure it made it to you. :)

MY DIORAMA IS FINI! Yay! 

Before I post the final pictures (which I'll likely go a bit overboard on), I'll reconnect you all with the story of the real tank and men my diorama is based on:


https://www.reddit.com/r/DestroyedTanks/

comments/c7myoi/north_korean_t3485_

tanks_destroyed_by_the_27th/

(For further reading on the Battle of Bowling Alley:https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_the_Bowling_Alley)

Here's the pics of the real thing! Feel free to compare my model to 'em! ;) 


I also suspect that the picture below shows the same T-34/85 -before the Americans painted it, that is.

 

My diorama's setting is before the "banana peel" effect was produced, as the Americans were moving out to it, and just before the they put mud in its gun barrel. 
The figure with the BAR gun represents the 17yr. old Daniel Cooper. Thus, without further ado, the dio:

Now for a little bit of fun--putting photos in black & white... Hehehe

Does it look real or fake?


Of all the diorama photo's I've posted in this and the last post, please let me know which one you think should go on the roster. And again, a thank you to Gamera for the figures; they were perfect for this! 

Praise the Lord!

Wow, that turned out great!!! Really sharp work there!!!

And you're welcome to the figures, if I still owned them they'd be still here in the box collecting dust...

I didn't know you were still working on this John!  Great looking dio, especially with the backstory included!  Congrats on bringing it to the finish line!
