Here is a recent Dio that I have completed. They are TAMIAYA PANZER 4's. They have not turned out a bit naff and not as i had hoped
The foliage is made from material used for childrens' witches broom for halloween.

The diorama is great, nice composition, and the grass looks great. Just curious about the version of the Panzer IV's and the paint scheme for the year stated on the diorama? I could be wrong, but I don't believe any of the they are correct for the time period.
Other then that, great work.

Hi, looks really good. I like the tanks in the grass. 1942 comes to my mind from the title and IV stubs when units were diverted away from Stalingrad to help encircle The Russians in the south. Congrats

I agree with the 1942 comments. The grass is really well done! I'll have to find some of that! The armor finish and weathering is pretty good with the mud and foliage stuck in the running gear well done. The chains and spare track on the fenders need to be weathered in same fashion as spares already weathered. Maybe not exactly, close is good.
Cheers!

I really liked the diorama and vegetation also appears to be pretty cool. I found it interesting to use the broom to make the vegetation.
Congratulations!

I don't think they look naff at all. Very nice work!
Thanks
