There was a fifth figure but he just didn't want to play ball , he was supposed to be changing the barrel on the turret MG but he didn't fit with this kit and his pose ment I couldn't put him anywhere else

As always comment welcome

[Richi72]

No comment needed.

[Alan 45]

Cheers guys thanks for the great comments


I'm pleased with it myself it all seemed to work apart from the fifth figure but that's no great loss


We are staring to see some really different figures coming out latly that are nicely detailed and giving some different options instead of fighting or walking poses and they do add that little bit more to a piece

Great mini diorama, Alan. These are really nice poses and do credit to one excellent tank.

Thanks guys I appreciate it

Great mini diorama, Alan. These are really nice poses and do credit to one excellent tank.

it even has an arial now mate :D

 

[Wendall]

That's one to be very proud of Alan. The weathering on the tank is very nice and the figures really bring the whole thing to life. What I particularly like is the attention to detail on the groundworks. The imprints of the tracks and the areas disturbed by the crew moving around make it a really convincing scene.


Well done mate.

 

[The Migrant]

Really well done diorama, Alan. The composition's good, the animation of the figures is excellent and the whole thing just works.

 

[Snowman]

Oh....very nicely done!!


"This is my rifle, this is my gun....." oops, no wrong calibre..

 

[Polux]

Magnificent one Alan!


Lovely vignette! Looks very natural


The paintwork is excellent.

 

[Alan 45]

Cheers chaps and thanks for the great comments I appreciate it very much


Ive just stuck this on the ipms site ! I wounder how this will be recieved lol

 

[phikoleoputra]

Wow Alan, another completed build and another cracking dio. Well done mate!!!

 

[Ian M]

Very nice Alan.


The composition is great and I think a fifth figure could have made it look crowded.


Love the base, the scuffing of the area around the tank is a good detail.


I did spot a couple of seams and an ejector pin mark you missed but that just proves I study the photos, it's not in your face, but the're there.


Good skin tones on the figures, but to bring the desert theme home you need to show tan lines. "Blond haired blue eyed Germans are quite prone to sun tan....


In all a great diorama.

Ying yang awarded great model and dio I've looked long and hard twice I can't see seams or pin mark Ian talks of but then again I was never any good at where's Wally either.well done mate one to be proud of cheers John

 

[Tibbs]

A well thought out scene...... Brilliantly executed, gonna chuck a ying yang at it.


P.s...... Is it diorama or a vignette.... Whats the difference?

 

[Alan 45]

Cheers guys thanks for the great coments
