Drifter, i saw in your intro that your keen to do diorama's, i look forward to seeing some. It will be nice to have more dio's here.

 

That is correct sir, I just don't know how well they will look at first ConfusedWhistling

 

Well, only one way top find out. Like everything else, its all a learning curve. I've been building dio's 30 years and still have plenty to learn and room to improve.

Hi Drifter. Per your bio, check out my "What's Cookin'" thread and jump in.

Yep, I'd enjoy seeing more dios. I stopped building them after a bit as I had no place to store them and I hate to throw them away.

 

 Modeling is an excuse to buy books.

Thanks guys.

Tiger, they are difficult to see. On my paper Pz builds i tend to go for low viz markings, hence the small black crosses and outline numbers.

Nice work Bish. I was going to comment on the lack of balkenkreuz's then I noticed them. They are really subdued. I also like the infantry soldiers.

Nice work Bish, your mud and snow look real... You did great on the men Too.

I,m still working on mine. Undecided, but looking at an event from the battle at St. Vith In 1944.

It looks very nice, Krycell is certainly the best snow product that I have found.

It looks fantastic it! I like how you transferred the mud effect from the ground up thru the tracks and the running gear to the tank hull, something often not seen in dios like this.

The Lion looks sort of like a JS II, very massive.

Too many models to build, not enough time in a lifetime!!

My latest diorama is my first Amusing Hobby Kit and first snow scene. I added an AM metal barrel and some resin exhausts along with PE tool clamps and  some part from the spares box. Painted with MRP paint and white wash paint from precision ice and snow. I also used there snow powder for the base.

The tank went together really well and has some nice detail without being over engineered. If you like what if vehicles, you should really give one of theres a go.

The tank crew figures are from miniart and the ground troops from Dragon.

Thanks for looking, all comments welcome as always.
