Hi all:

Well, I may have mentioned to some of you that I am working on an HO Scale (1/87th) Military Diorama for a project at work. It will be appearing in our upcoming catalog.

Here are a few images of some of the buildings, and a tank that will be shown in the finished piece.

The Signal Tower is from Faller, the Freight House from Vollmer, and the Tiger is from Roco. I assembled the structures per instructions, gave them a nice oil wash, dullcoated the models, then finished them off with some pigments and oil drybrushing.

Let me know what you guys think.






Thanks!

John

John,those buildings look fantastic as well as the Tiger Did the Tigers have a 4 digit system on the turret? Ussally you never see more than 3

wowie superB and I tought 1:35 scale was small. looking great! please be sure to post pics when you finish this! what brand is the tiger tank?

roco minitanks?

anyway seriously good job dude!

Thanks GeneralZod & zero_cool. Glad you like them.

General, I got the 4 number scheme out of my Squadron Panzer Colors book. I specifically picked it because it seemed unusual to me.

zero_cool, you have it right, the tank is from Roco Minitanks. The decals are TL Decals which I think are put out by Trident miniatures.

I'll keep you guys posted as to the finished piece.

The final scene will have a German BR 52 locomotive, 8 various freight cars, Tiger VI, Panzer IV, Sturmgeschutz III, Opel Blitz, Kubelwagen, Sdkfz 7 Half-Track, some Quad 20's, an 88mm w/limber, and a couple Raupenschlepper Osts. Like I mentioned earlier, I don't know how historically accurate it will be to have all those different vehicles in the same place, but the objective is really to show a grouping we are going to be selling together. Anyway, I think it should look pretty neat when it's done. I'll post more later.


Thanks again,

John
