@PanzerMaker - Jan,

Welcome!

That's a very nice build. I like the battle damage, camouflage and weathering. The battle scene is also interesting. The vehicle and figures are well placed giving a sense of action and motion. I also like the brownish gray and white photographs.

The destroyed and almost completely disinter-graded Panzer IV and twisted metal structure adds to the battle scene.

Thanks for posting and sharing your work here, hoping to see more.

A very nicely posed diorama.

The Maus looks battlewarn and weary.

The only gripe I have is that you have some nasty mould departure lines on your figures.
