Comments
Steffen Christmann shares with us some images of his diorama ‘Abandoned near Anzio’. This diorama utilised the Dragon Model Elefant which was enhanced using ABER Photo etched parts and Friul Model tracks; the tree in the diorama is made completely from scratch using a copper wire frame work. The diorama is based upon three historic photographs which show this specific vehicle luckily from 3 angles, these photographs I attached to the base.

@urumomo: Grauwolfs opinion is correct: If needed persicopes could be stuck through these hatches.

@AlanL: The story of the pictures is: The Elefant drove over a mine; The crew could repair, but still the tank was damaged. As there was no possibility to rescew it, after the pictures where made the Elefant was blown up and destroyed. So there couldn't be an allied fotographer - but the idea is quiet good!

Amazing work! I found myself going through the photos several times to check out everything -- ground, base, zimmeret, etc. I'd like to know more about making the tree, too.
