A somewhat dense dio build using various resin figures, a couple of Verlinden kits, some scratch building, an abandoned German PAK 38 5cm field artillery piece and some other items. Seeing this now I notice a few tweaks I overlooked, but I do think it has motion.
Anyone guess the manufacturer of the Tiger kit ?

Snow is by Woodland Scenics, slush/ ice is a combination of Woodland Scenics Snow and good old Elmers Glue

Looks great; i love the action in the scene... So much to look at, and so few pictures!

As for the tiger, im guessing:
Dml
Tamiya
Academy
or
AFV club

Two tweaks I wish I'd done looking back- figured out a way to simulate/ photoshop cold weather breath vapor from the figures[ particularly in a couple of camera angles] and 'bleeding' a bit more color from the brickwork, stonework and debris..

This diorama looks very much alive. Good figure painting too, I like the colors you have used and the snowy area looks realistic. But you have made good pics too, I like the sunlight coming from the right as shown in picture 2. This light makes it very dynamic !
