Scale Models - View Single Post - My first diorama

twitch_tweak · 14-01-2008

Hello all, this is my first post on the site. My history with dioramas and models doesn't go very far back. I used to never have the patience for them, but have been developing a big interest towards both of them lately.

Lately I have been working on my first diorama. I am basically into anything that concerns WWII, which is why I chose to create this diorama. As of right now I only have the terrain partially finished. I am going to add much more lichen and grass, and probably more trees.

The scene will be in 1/72 and will depict a german patrol, consisting of a Jagdtiger and a Jagdpanzer, along with a large number of german infantry, being ambushed by another large group of 101st airborne paratroopers.

I have named the project "The Crossroads" because as you can see in the pictures, the terrain depicts the cross section of two dirt roads.

The jadgtiger and jadgpanzer are both in the works, and the infantry hasnt even arrived at my house (in the mail) so I will post pictures of both of them later.

Please look at the pictures and let me know what you think. Any suggestions and comments is greatly appreciated.
