It's beta ver of the title....

Since several months I have been working with such diorama...

Pz. Kpf III Ausf. M - Revell + ABER + PART + scratch
M3 Lee - Mirage + ABER





Figures from Preiser...



Moreover, I have finished the cottage in 90%. The small villege house was painted by acrylics and I have made rains using MIG oils, but they aren't visible on the photos. It must be improved in the future. I made the thatch usnig hair from makeup brush.





More photos from the workbench (Pz III ) you can see on my site...

Up-date coming soon...

Good work so far!
Hello, no, your (and my one too) camera can not capture the contrast on the white walls of the house to see details.
For this, you could make different exposed images and combine them using computer-software.
But this is not easy for make "only" images. ;-)

Also a higher shutter-speed should help, which make darker images.

Also I like the idea to make the roof using a long-haired brush!

greetings...

Grass, brushwood and the other have been planted. Let's paint it for less bright green tones.

Small update. I airbrushed camouflage colours on the Pz III. Moreover, M3 Lee also got colours and was painted in "colour modulation" style. All vegetation was painted for less bright green tones. The thatch from makeup brush was airbrushed grey and now it looks much older.

The vegetation is beautifully composed--a flush of wild growth--you have a sensitivity of this. The trail through the weeds, breaking off the road to range down-hill, awakens a sense of duration, of the presence of things wider than the immediate vehicles.

Vehicles are done. They got rains, dust and rust in some places. The base is also finished, the sand got more different tones and I airbrushed the grass to less contrast and vivid tones. The last thing to do is to paint all the figures.

Liking this alot, the groundwork and thatched roof are superb as well as is the weathering on the vehicles, good work.

Mateusz, great job here, I love the ground work, what did you use for the grass, and is this in 1/35 scale

This diorama looks great! My only question is whether a M3 Lee would have been present in 1943?. I thought that they left service during the North Afrika Campaign and were replaced by Shermans and Stuarts.
Sal: IMO from the figures and the hut, it appears that this is 1/72.

Great little dio you got there!! It’s unbelievable that it’s in 1/72nd scale!!

@ Matt: I think the M3 lee is supposed to be one of those that were given to the soviet army for the lend lease program.

what did you use for the grass



It's "Polak Model".

As vladimir said, it's "Len Lease" Program. It's very interesting inspiration for building models and dioramas.

I took several outdoor photos.

Great diorama. The details are great. Especially for this scale.

The Lee was used in large numbers for the the Kursk offensive, so it is spot on for this diorama.
