slowly due to time and also that the figures is the most complicated to myself I could move it.
I show you that you may know that I'm with it

Hi Domi,
just for a clarification,
brick tank on your photos is still standing close to Bratislava city part Petrzalka, and was built after war as a training target for antitank guns.
more photo you can find on

just thinking it could have been

Well, looking for information, I found this page,
it says the bricktank that were built in the interwar period
"The brick tank is the component part of the complex military defense system constructed along the borders, in the light of experience from World War I, and in the run-up to World War II. We recommend visiting also the cache GC17WBJ - Bunkers of Petrzalka what has been dedicated to this line of concrete fortifications, tank obstacles, machine gun posts, and other defenses."
This is the link

anyway be of wwii or later it's what I'm enjoying

Domi,
The Japanese constructed a similar “tank” out of volcanic rock and sand on Iwo Jima. I saw a picture of this tank decoy in Eric Hammel’s book ‘Iwo Jima’ and was hoping to include this tank as part of an Iwo Jima diorama in the future.
Seeing how great your diorama turned out, I’m even more motivated to get going on this project.
While I couldn’t find a picture of this decoy online, it is mentioned in the following article.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dummy_tank
The Japanese even carved teeth into the drive wheel.
Your dio is incredibly detailed and I aspire to create something of comparable complexity and detail.

The bag of cement is really simple, just a bit of putty to be shaped and covered with thin paper.
I broke a little role in the area of the opening to give more realism

to make the bricks just check the lines on a
cork sheet and was cut using a metal cutter and a ruler.
You can also help with a manual guillotine
