So I was tinkering around with an old Mark I tank that I painted when I was a kid. Unfortunately I beat it up a bit to make it look "weathered" and "battleworn" so it suffers a bit from that.

However, I love the entire concept of WWI dioramas, and I have always wanted to create one. There seems to be so few that I figured I might as well try my hand at it, by using this old tank, some spare modeling pieces, and good ol' fashion creativity, this was my result.

Well here it is. I am unsure of any title to bestow upon it, so I might take some suggestions. And as usual, any criticism or techniques to improve upon would be wonderful.

I like it a lot and it is always fun and interesting to see something different like this. I think you did a great job as well. Congrats.

Not bad at all for recovering an older build. You've tied it in well with your new diorama, and your diorama fundamentals are quite excellent. Have you posted your first diorama here or anywhere else online?

Thank you first of all.

I did post my other diorama on this forum, but I forgot to add the in the title that it was my first diorama.

Hi Dane,

Nice work, looks great. Just one observation, the mud on the tracks looks a bit red compared to the colour of the earth. I like the tangle of wire caught up in the tracks.

A fine job.

Nice little scene Dane. You captured it very well.


Personally I think the base may be a bit too big for the scene ... theres a lot of empty space beside the tank on the front left of the figures. A smaller base with the figures placed tighter would have helped increase the action effect. The long trench with only two figures looks a bit empty, in my opinion. Shows how important planning is when creating a scene.
