Hi All,
This is my first diorama and thank you very much to who helped me from this site. I used Miniart base and building, Dragon's jagdpanther, Miniart figures, Verlinden and Plusmodel furniture. Rest of it is scratchbuilt. Wellcome for all critics.

Ahhh much better Seamen mate ,,the figures are looking very good ..the ammo handlers turned out very well indeed ,nicely done mate ,:)
Now some helpful hints for you ..rubble and debris, you don't have enough of it .you did a very good job so have no worries there mate but like near the front door .you need alot more brick and plaster debris ,,more dust so to speck ,its to clean , same with the floor above the tank .needs a little more .one little trick for you is jump on the net and do a search on destroyed buildings .the pics will show you just how dirty and covered in dust things get ,( that would drive my girlfriend nuts )
But all in all .brilliant start dude
The tank is excellent .

Phill, Cagkan, Kevin and Dave, thank you very much your nice words. I'm adding some photos of jagdtiger. It can't be seen exactly because of the building.

super effort regardless of it being your first diorama. great tones and well planned composition. i would also add as others have mentioned the need to add more debris, maybe also on the front of the tank's hull as it looks like it punched through quite a wall.

you did a sweet job on the figures as well, something that is a trial for most of us. you have a great grasp of various techniques and i look forward to seeing your next project. cheers, bd.

Bruce, thank you very much for your nice words. There is less debris on the front of building because there is a cafe shop. So there is a big shop window and less stone debris.

Everybody,
Thank you for your nice comments. Chris, because of these curtains, our house curtains are now less longer. My wife will kill me Curtains are made by a method which is found by me . For curtains you need a paint printer. Choose a color and print on a normal paper. Then print again on the back side of the paper. Then cut the paper and fold it as just you want. The important thing during this procedure is have to be done very quickly. Because after two prints the paper will be dump a little. So you can give the desired shape to paper without wrinkles. Curtains rods are made by Artesania eyebolt (item number 8463)and a plastic rod by Evergreen. I'm putting pic of item below. You can make it with a metal clip.

Hi there!
I can just echo the others here!
The curtain method is an idea I will 'steal' for sure!
Very well done indeed!
What's up next?

Ciao
Edo
