Hey guys here are some pictures I took of my first diorama, since I started modeling armor two weeks ago, there are a bunch of first's here in these, my first nato camo scheme, you'd think I'd done of these from building planes, but never did, my first home made mud via baking soda, turned out ok I guess, and my first diorama, these revel tracks simply would not stay glued and would not assemble for pish posh, so I scrapped the assembled idea and decided to a diorama of a broken in the field tank.
I had a real tough time with this revel tank, instructions were beyond poor, the parts sprues were not lettered, only numbered, so I spent almost 3 to 5 five minutes per part, just looking for the damn things. fit and finish was ok, I had some reviews on this kit, and a lot of guys liked building it, maybe I just suck at this kit, I don't know?
Anyways here are some pics of my first diorama, the idea came to me after I couldn't get the tracks to glue and stay together. I will be adding more snow material, I used baking soda this go around, but I did order some snow material used for model trail layouts, so once I pick that up, I will add more and try to get it more realistic.
Anyways here are some pics
Thanks for looking, and any tips help or advice, is greatly appreciated!!!!!

Looks like a Leopard, to me. The base is quite nice. My only cc is that the broken track, would not stick out from the sprocket. The links should hang down.

that's a great effort! good composition, i'd add a figure, either a mechanic laughing at it, or a pissed off crewman!

Some parts are wrong on the Leo.
They are Dutsh smoke launcher on a German Leopard.
The cages on the rear of the turret are wrong mounted.
