ErikT Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 I've been working on this one for quite a long time, in between a few others. It's only my third Armour model, but thanks to watching as many YouTube videos as I could find, I'm pleased with how it has turned out. It's also the first big diorama that I've finished, so I definitely learned a lot on this one. It's the Tamiya kit, with Tamiya German armour crew and Tamiya ammo and fuel accessory kits. I upgraded the kit with Eduard photoetch, which I'm still learning but getting better at. Weathering with Abteilung oils and Ammo pigments, and most of the scenery is just standard insulation foam coerced into submission thanks to the aforementioned YouTube videos (many, many thanks to Uncle Night Shift!). I think my favourite tiny detail is still the one casing that Werner "lawn-darted" into the turf. 20 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bertie McBoatface Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 Good all the way; tank, figures, diorama. It all works together very well. I'm very impressed with the wall!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
echen Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 All the above comments + bells! Terrific work: particularly like the weathering but it doesn't seem fair to single out one aspect as the whole goes together so well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toryu Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 You created a very elaborate scenery with a wholly realistic touch. This cat will have fried paws before long... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
45DegreesModelling Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 I’m just about to start a diorama inspired by the teachings of Uncle Night Shift. I hope mine comes out half as good as yours. Great work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spitfire 123 Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 Stunning work all round, really love the weathering too. Riley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErikT Posted October 12, 2022 Author Share Posted October 12, 2022 Thanks so much everyone for the kind words! This was my first big diorama, and there were a lot of firsts in it. I had never done cobbles or brickwork before, and a lot of the detailing and weathering on the tank itself was entirely new to me. The whole thing took me a year to finish, but that was interspersed with a bunch of other models. I tend to work on a half-dozen at a time. I think I might be crazy...

Remus389 Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 I'm impressed, but not by the tank, but by your modelling skills. 10/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muchmirth Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 (edited) Hey this is brilliant! The figures, the cat on the gun barrel is a really nice touch, the weathering on the hatch I like too. Top job!!
