Pagey Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 The halftrack was shown on the armoured vehicles section a couple of months ago. the kit came with a 5 figures, so I decided to try and make a diorama out of it. The Base is homemade and I used a couple of Tamiya weapons kits and fuel can kits to add extra detail to the diorama, including filling up the back of the half track with bits. I also added a heavily weathered broken BMW bike as I liked the look of it. I added a storage box to the front of the halftrack, a folded tarpoline and a bucket (again because I liked the look of it 🙂 . I particularly enjoyed weathering the oil can (particularly how the different paint tones have come through on the one lying on its side. . Ready just in time for the Milton Keynes show next week. 23 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bertie McBoatface Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 Very nice. That old kit hasn't changed a bit! 😄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toryu Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 What a great scenery, full of action and stunningly realistic! I love the soil, the weathering and the movement of the grenadiers. This looks like a picture from my father's (an Afrika Korps veteran) album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon J Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 Great scene and I particularly love your groundwork, it just looks perfectly in scale to me. Not sure how a desert can be over scale but I hope you know what I mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
