Ozzy Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 Finished off the Battle of Berlin diorama today. Not normally one for what if’s, I saw the Miniart ball tank on line and thought it would make a nice diorama. Miniart ball tank: 40001 Miniart tank crew: 35254 Miniart furniture: 35548 zvezda Volkssturm figures: 3621 MDMB tram line base: 20211121 30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muchmirth Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 I’m also not usually a fan of ‘what if’ but this really is a great idea which paints pictures in your mind of the greater picture set by the diorama. Very well done as all looks excellent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Muchmirth, I saw a ball tank on an online auction site and I’d been watching a few battle of Berlin documentaries, I thought that would be a believable mix.

MRMRL Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 Hi Ozzy, I love this, even though my only is USS Montana, I think it's a great idea. Your work on the brick rubble is the scene stealer for me, looks incredible 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nimrod484 Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 Nice idea with a good and interesting narrative. Always wondered about that ball tank and how it could be used in a diorama. Well done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Nimrod, The ball tanks definitely have loads of Diorama possibilities, one wouldn’t look out of place in a Star Wars diorama either.

Bertie McBoatface Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 That is good, really good. Very compact, nothing there that doesn't contribute to the story. Please forgive me for pushing our GB proposal and take a look at this. This diorama suggests to me that you might find it interesting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ErikT Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 Wow, your rubble is amazing; it just makes the entire scene so realistic. I love the 'Dieselpunk' WW2-era what-ifs. I've been tempted to pick up one of those ball tank kits, and your excellent diorama isn't talking me out of it one bit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
