Nearly finished KV-2 diorama. There will be another three soldiers, one standing next to the BMW with a camera and another two in front of the tank holding a captured Russian flag. Waiting for the flag and still need some final touches. Sorry about the photography. Will post more when it's complete.

Ditto on the dried leaves. Looks real nice. Did you buy or make the tree?

You've done a terrific job of giving a abandoned feel of the KV, I really like the weathering and the battle damage. I get a feeling the tank is saying "you go ahead and laugh now, but wait till you see our secret weapon............... RUSSIAN WINTER"
Looking forward to seeing the finished product
Thanks for sharing

Looking real good Brett...like how you've got the dried leaves on the tank, as well as your groundwork and ditch. KV-2 came out real nice. Thanks for sharing your photos.

I believe they(the leaves) are real,it is from a tree which has that white and black bark(can`t remember how it`s called in English),it7s in my back yard and I have always wanted to use them but never seemed to...

Thanks for the comments. I'm trying to improve my groundwork. The leaves are Hudson and Allen Forest Litter, who by the way make fantastic materials, the tall grass straw and small grass some product you just stick on in clumps already made. The tree is Sagebrush; I think the railway guys use them.
I have to say it really stretched my modelling skills, believe it or not the hardest thing to make was the bicycle; absolute torture, especially the spoked wheels. The motorbike wasn't much better. Unless your really experienced with PE, I'd recommend just building the bike OOB.
