Stunning composition, very creative and impressive. All the pieces seem to just fit together, and are well thought out. The only little thing I might question is the soldier smoking right next to the fellow spraying paint. Not really a good combination with flammable vapors around.

Got to agree with this,a few years ago i was working on a building site where they were using spray gun thinners as a cleaning fluid when a young guy walked into the area and lit a cigarette --the flashover melted his tracksuit bottoms to his legs and guaranteed him a nice long stay in the local hospital -- for the sake of reality and as a point to all i`d put him elsewhere on the diorama.
Other than that,I LOVE IT !!

Got to agree, nice dio, creative and well laid out, particularly like the round base. Only other point would be the guy welding underneath the fuel tank being filled from a fuel drum.....ka-boom!

That's amazing, I really like all the elements and how they fit together. I think that smoking would be the least of the soldiers worries around this time in the war.

What can I say - Just great. Very well done. you've really packed a lot in a small space. It's crowded and effective. Things aren't just crammed in, they all serve a purpose.
The color of the primer is great, very well done.

Something that your time was will spent and how now you can set back and be Very Proud of what you have accomplished.The detail and the painting of the figure will done,and all the other little details.Way to go

Nice scene Marcin. I like the layout/composition. Although we are all well aware of the dangers involved with flammables, not everybody working on vehicles has heeded warnings. Smoking is one thing, but welding below fuel tanks being filled, really stands out. Maybe move the welder to another side??

Hi Marcin
A great way to put a Maus in a realistic diorama. I just love the detail with the guy who's spraypainting the tank. Keep up the great work!
Best regards

Terrific work Marcin. I really like vehicles finished in Red Primer. Well done. As for the soldier smoking well I've seen soldiers break rules before
