Dear friends,

Just to share my humble diorama entitled, "Morning briefing", Otto Carius in Battle of Narwa, Estonia 1944 (actually, its the prelude to battle of Narva, the battle commencing in Feb 44, by that time I think Otto was seriously injured, but thankfully alive to fight in Western front commanding Jagdtigers).

This dio is inspired by the Manga by Hayao Miyazaki "Tigers covered with mud" a spoof made from Otto Carius' "Tigers in the mud".

Tiger is an academy interior kit, some dragon, tamiya and 1 italeri figures. Kubel is from Hasegawa, snow by Woodland Scenics. Wooden base is bass wood and balsawood, stained with Ronstead.

Hi Kiong
Very nice build and a good "story". You've done a fine job on the whitewash, especially on the kübelwagon. A good use of the Tamiya figures. Nice touch with the dog under the Tiger...
Keep up the good work.
Best regards
Jacob
