I think this is an excellent diorama..made even more special because of the small scale. One of the most realistic dioramas that I have seen...... In any scale! The muted colors, the "real-ness" (if I can use such a word) of the mud and the animals.
Great job! I look forward to seeing your future projects.

Didnīt even realise this was 1/72 scale. Firstly the camo colours are amazing ... and then theres the mud! Excellent. Love the "comedy" of the scene as well. Top notch work Guy.

Guy, very good build and I'm amazed it's in that small scale. I have trouble with 1/35th l.o.l.
The mud, grass, tank, etc. very sweet.

Jeff : your reply encourages me a lot. I had great fun making this scene with mud and puddles. The cows were painted with acrylics and finished with oils and pigments.

Frank : the colors are Tamya Acrylics Dark Yellow, Red Brown and Dark Green, painted by brush in fine and transparent layers (I think 6 or so). Top quality paints. Thank you too for your kind words.

Glenn : thank you ! I cursed...sometimes...eh...quite a lot...now to be honest...I cursed the whole diorama together ! I used no glue, but curses, LOL.
I always take my time while glueing and painting, and enjoy every minute in my hobby room to make a project as good as I can.
It started with the Jagdpanzer, then I found the Preiser cows in a store, I read the topic "Mud, glorious mud !" on big A, and it started to come together slowly. I tried to make a funny situation and this is the result.

Thanks again guys ! G.

Guy, well done! I have to agree... wouldn't have guessed it was 1/72!

What a superb diorama!

Is the Jagdpanzer derelict in the field?

Cheers
