After 10 months working on this, here is my first ever attempt at a diorama, centered around Trumpeter's Bergepanzer IV - with all its inaccuracies and defects - and "garnished" with figures from Master Box's excellent "German tank repairmen", parts from the spares bin and some scratchbuilding.

The base is an IKEA picture frame, the ground is plaster, painted with all sorts of paint, grasses from Noch and Heki.

I am somewhat satisfied with the way my figures came out as I've only ever built 5-6 figures my entire life...

I will start off with the tank's interior, which has sadly been buried and lost forever...

And finally, my ego could not be contained any further and burst out of my chest "Aliens"-style.....

That looks pretty nice. Good detail work for the most part. It's sad you did so much on the interior just to have it locked away.

Great build of an unusual subject. Is the intirior part of the kit, or is it an AM conversion?
Regards

Hej Jacob! Thanks for dropping in. The kit comes with all this interior plus some more ammo bins and shells for a regular turreted PzIV.
