First try? I love it. The heat index here is 100 plus and this thing made me shiver. Excellent job. Snow is tough, I think, but your looks really good.

Nice work! It sure does look cold there. One thought, if they are firing, the guy on the rear deck extension's about to learn the concept of equal and opposite reactions. :-)

thanks guys for the replies!;makes me wanna make more Dio's..
Yes I did make the barbed wire myself with the help of this excellent forum.
Gheghe, yes I know that when the Wespe would fire the guy on the back of the vehicle would be in for a nasty surpsrise, but I intended to create the feeling they are preparing the vehicle for firing and I reckon the loaders on the back would be wise enough to take a few steps back when the Wespe goes loose

sorry fellows, this is in Dutch
Invictis,
Waar was je al die tijd , voor een eerste dio ziet het er zeer goed uit, krijg het er koud van.
Ik heb een paar kleine voorstellen die eventueel nog kunt aanpassen of in een volgende gebruiken.
* Je kan met een beetje zwarte pastelkrijt de loop een beetje bevuilen (roetvorming)
* Het kan aan de foto's liggen maar ik zie geen sporen van de rupsbanden, je moet niet vergeten dat die krengen een paar ton wegen dus je zult altijd afdrukken zien en meestal ingedrukt in de onderligende modder.
* Als je naar de eerste foto kijkt dan lijkt het alsof he vooral met grijstinten bezig bent geweest, je kan de onderkant gertust nog iets meer modder geven.
Maar knap is het zeker, echt iets om op de stand van KMK te zetten (hint hint hint)

Hoi Ronny,
sorry guys talking dutch again..gheghe..
waar was ik al die tijd?;pc had kuren en kreeg dat kreng (diorama) maar niet af naar mijn zin, toch tanden op elkaar gezet, maar ja..
eigenlijk ben ik er niet super tevreden mee; dat roet op die loop zat ik over te tobben inderdaad, ga ik alsnog doen.
ja ik had rupsafdrukken gemaakt maar door dat toevoegen van de sneeuw zie je ze dus niet echt wat erg jammer is.
Er zat meer modder op, maar weer door toevoeging van de sneeuw..hmmzz.
Ik ben bezig met een ander winterdiorama (ja weer winter, ik weet ook niet wat dat is met mij..) met een wirbelwind, als die af is post ik ook weer foto's.
Maar thanks voor het compliment, maar wat is de stand van KMK?
groetjes,
Alco

That looks great....... I just hope My first dio....when I finally get around to building it. looks half as good..
the only thing I noticed besides the guy on the back... would be that if the gun has been fired since its been whitewashed... then the end of the gun tube would not be white anymore. it would be all sooted up around the muzzle brake.........

by now , I fixed the muzzle and soothed it with black powder, forgot that bit (maybe I will remove the guy on the back as well, though I am not quitte sure of it..)....other good news is that another winter dio is really almost finished ;3 times as big as this one, more height , more men , a panther and more trees and yes more snow..), expect some pics next week, I reckon you will like and enjoy that one as well (well I hope so...)
