metadyne Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 using MB German infantry (early war) advancing passed a broken down French light tank. using the tank as hard cover as they move onward toward the retreating French Forces. I was trying to use the terrain to describe the final moments of the tank before the crew abandoned it. the tank has left the road and entered a soft area of ground where the steering has put pressure on the mechanical parts causing a break down. 22 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noelh Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 Impressive mud and grass effects. That's really well done. But I'd like to see more of the tank. It looks great. I'd love to see more. Plus you never told us what type it is? The figures add to the scene but the helmet colour is odd. Maybe it's my phone but they look sand coloured? It's a nice diorama though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badder Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 (edited) Hi Metadyne, As has been said, superb grass and mud effects, the mud especially so. That really does look like real damp/wet mud. The grass/vegetation is a fantastic colour, making it look much more alive and fresh and luscious than is often the case. The bits of the tank which are visible look great too, with the clods of earth and grass on the tracks adding to the realism. But yes, more pics of the tank itself would be nice. I suspect you know this, but there is also a Forum for dioramas, and it would be nice to see this feature in the RFI there as well, with some wide-angle shots, maybe?

StuartH Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 Fantastic dio and I think the mud effects are brilliant. You can almost hear the squelching of that damp mud...looks perfect. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Modelholic Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Nice little dio! The helmets and the roadwheels on the tank do seem too light. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
