Thank you to those who followed the building of this diorama. I really enjoyed the comments.
The main ingredients are a floor tile, the Tamiya Pak 40 anti tank gun and crew, cardboard, tile adhesive, scrap balsa, moss and small stones from the garden and white emulsion paint from the shed!
The remodelling of the figures was something I had never attempted before, but although difficult it was an interesting challenge. When I was 'playing around' with the figures I happened to put the two soldiers side by side and they looked like they were having a discussion, they looked kinda right so I left them to it!
The bloke by the gun I have tried to put in a sort of "Will you two shut up!" sort of pose.
I hope you will excuse the slight deviation from the rules, but I couldn't resist adding the stretcher party from my 'Bring him in' dio. for a couple of shots.
Also, to my eternal shame I forgot the bucket in most of the shots, sorry!!! lol
The Pak40 crew, trapped in the East Prussia pocket wait for the Russian Army to appear. What does the common soldier think of at times like this, knowing in a few days, or even hours, he will probably meet a violent end?
I hope you approve of this offering as much as I enjoyed making it.
Thank you,
Ron
