Hi all

This is my diorama of an S-Tank in a dug in postion. The tank is Trumpeters 1/72 Strv 103C and the base is softwood covered in wall filler, painted brown and covered in some model railway type grass which in turn was weathered.

All questions and opions are welcome

Enjoy

Hi matt,

Nice little piece, I personally don’t have much experience in 1/72.
I guess you decided not to put any spent shells then? If I may offer some tips, you might want to try celluclay for the ground work next time. The upturned soil should not have any grass on it, or perhaps small amounts mixed in it. And the first rule we must remember in building dioramas is nothing should be parallel to the sides of the base and that you should not have empty spaces (you could add a small tree).

Regards,
