Hi All,
I've asked a similar question previously, but limited to my WWII German tanks. Here we go... Below are all the tanks kits I either have, or have on order (including the kit manufacturer, and in some cases, conversion kits). They are either just at the beginning stages of building, or still in the box, so I can do just about anything with any of these guys, paint-wise, etc.
I'm curious what you all might suggest, with this variety of tank subjects, what you might think would be a good series of dioramas. I thought I'd give you the whole list, and see what you experienced diorama makers might put in combination. For those kits that are list 2-3 times, this means that I have that number of the same kit, and, obviously, have the ability to make dioramas with multiples of the same tank. I have no experience at all with dioramas (YET!), but I'm willing, and planning, to start. It would be great to have some inspiring ideas.
So, I'm willing to consider any reasonable combination of tanks. I'v tried to group them in sort of a decent combination, but of course, many of you have expertise that I don't have, so use your imaginations, and help me figure out how to put these guys together for some interesting armor interactions!
