Very nice job! A figure would help tell the story as well as help give the impression of scale but it looks great as is. I'm looking forward to seeing the complete scene.

PS Which kit did you use?

A figure is always nice to give some scale effect. I now display all of my tanks that aren't part of dioramas with at least one figure.

Nice little scene. As big a pain in the butt as it is, though, this vehicle really cries out for some zimmerit.

Since it looks to be set just after the end of the war, maybe you could put a person or two just walking past . Maybe like a refugee or something.

Or maybe a couple of GI's taking a picture with one standing next to the tank.

I like it thus far. Can't wait to see what you come up with.

I agree - some GIs looking at it or taking pictures etc. would add scale and dimension to the diorama.

Great work! Thanks for sharing

Nice dio so far. Pat has a good idea: little boy on top of the tank. Those of us with little boys know they love to climb on things that they're not supposed to. I've got a 2 year old, loves to climb on EVERYTHING.

Plus adding there is a sign that says "Keep Off". How many of us as kids ignored similar signs.

"Sign? What sign, Dad? I didn't see any sign!" How many times did we say something like this? How many times am I going to hear it from my little guy?

Also signs only work in a persons native language and assuming that person can read
