Hi Chris
That is excellent. The building, the rubble, the street, the figures, the tank - all really well done and work well together.

Had some sterling advice about the look of the dio and the placement of the debris, so i've added a bit more...

looking at this now, it needs a few more pieces of 'plaster' and some wooden planks/ beams, as well as a few more passes with the rubble.

So there's more to come folks..

( it'll all be over soon gents...just humour me a bit longer..)

'The Battle of Berlin '.....this one's for you SIMON..R.I.P.

Nice diorama, it gives a good impression of the soldiers and the tank encountering resistance and preparing to take care of it :smiling3:

Evening Chris,
Excellent work on the dio.
The 85’, the figures and the building all come together very nicely indeed :thumb2:

I like that a lot. The rubble looks excellent, and the choice of dull pink on the building sets it off against the 4BO tank really well.

Chris, that's a very good finish, the figures give the impression of coming under fire, the position of the tank & the building sits well. I read somewhere that a diorama should tell a story, you have done that.
