Hi all,

This is a small diorama I made depicting a Sturmgeschutz III Ausf.G in the eastern front, they are supposed to be rushing to engage some action.

The kit, figures and accessories are all Tamiya.

This was my first work in 48th scale and with all the weathering I applied the Stug got way too dark and overdone, even so I enjoyed doing this first work on this scale a lot.

Thank you guys, the schurzen was made out of metal sheets, the ones that came with the kit are pretty bad and too thick, I had to scratch the hooks and cut the metal sheets, then i battered them a bit to look damaged.

You can have a look on the build log, it's in portuguese but pretty straight forward to follow the steps.

Congrats! It's got that dark, wet, and muddy feel. I like how you painted your commander figure. Great little scene.

Thank you very much Greg, it was by far the most difficult part of this scene, I had to chop off his arm and adjust the position with wire, them redo the sleeve and paint the guy, but at the end i very much like the result.

I can add the detailed photos of him if you want to have a look.
