Really nice work on the Hetzer, the figures and groundwork.
One thing - the tracks seem to be above the ground and not on it on even sunk a little into it.

you are perfectly right usually i do, but the terrain was resin casted so it was hard to sunk inside the tank.
thanks for your comments! i'm happy and a bit surprised for all positive feedbacks

Very nice work, Vittorio. Great details and good finishing. The layout is good and the story in the diorama obvious.
Thanks for sharing

a lot for your answer Dany.
thanks again to all you for your answers.
i'll try to explain my works but at first i need to sorry about my english.
i've used a mixed tecnique.
1. base coat. dark yellow airbrush (tamiya)
2. the other two colours are humbrol's enamels and for them i've used the paintbrush
3. with air brush and then with drybrush i've made the desaturation of each colour
4. then i've made a selective wash. then i've made various washes and more drybrush
5. i've made dust & mud on the running gear, at first using the airbrush and the making a drybrush with a palette of 3 colours white, sand & dark earth
6. a selective wash in the running gear.
7. the last step is some micropaint to made little chips.
my best
Vittorio

Fantastic Vittorio. I have only just come across this diorama now, and am sorry to have missed it originally. I can see you are a master of your craft, not only in painting, but in story telling through composition.
I will say that the reason behind the 'title' eluded me until viewing the second photo.
Great stuff mate
Cheers
Brad

Every diorama should tell a story. Yours tells a story very clearly. I don't need to ask any questions to figure out what is going on. The Hetzer, base and figures are outstanding.
