This is a dio that I finished about three years ago and put on the shelf and kinda forgot about . There is still a lot of shelf dust on it in the pics ( battery was getting low and in a hurry - sorry :oops: ) . The tanks are a Tamiya T-34 and a Italeri Pnzr. IV H I think ? The figures are a mix of old Tamiya and DML sets . I made the barrier from floral wire and the base is syro-foam covered with celluclay . I used painted cotton for the smoke on the Pz 4 and I might try and find something a bit more convencing . My favorite guy is the one placing the charge - he defenatly has a set of brass tacks . His back up waiting in the trench is probaly thinking " Otto please don't screw this up " . Well let me know what you think about it , thanks Toad .

This is a neat dio from awhile back. I bet that a little weathering, shading, and washes could bring this up to todays expectations.

Nice job!

Composition wise I like it. There are some details and such that could ultimiately use work. But for an older early diorama not bad at all.

Things to consider for next time, empty space, edging/cosmetics, figure details.
