Hi,

I have been working on this diorama from the arab uprising againt the brutal regime in Syria. This is my first diorama, that i have scratchbuilt (not the figures and tank. So I am still a beginner in that sense.
I have called this diorama "The suburbs of Damascus 2012".

The tank represents the regimes army, while the figures represent rebels from the free syrian army.

I started out with putting a T-72 tank (T-72M1 from Tamiya) with the diorama, but it seems to be to big for the diorama, so now I am assembling a Shilka (ZSU-23-4V1 from Dragon) instead.





I am not done with it, so comments, suggestions and critics are highly appriciated.

If you have questions about how some of the part are done, please also let me know. I have taken some pictures of some of it while creating it.

Sorry for any typos.

Best regards
Aldimashqi

The building and figures look great. Any in-progress pics to see how you did them?

If the T72 was too big, the Shilka will look huge. It is larger than the T72. If you don't have enough room for the T72, you won't for the Shilka either. A smaller vehicle like a BMP would be better.

Thanks for the feedback
The figures are from Masterbox (MB3576).
You are right... I should propably try with a BMP instead.
Here are some pictures from the build.






I'll post some pictures later tonight.
