Hi

After a long time without modelling,here are the pictures from my new model. The russian BMP-T in 1/72.

The diorama show a new vehicle on the militäry training area in Nischni Tagil in Russia.
It stops for a präsentation befor it runs through the water.
The water is almost brown because of the other vehicles. The scene should play in the fall.
The crew is wearing winter coats. It´s cold, but it has not snowed yet.
I like to show a scene, where the tank drive out of the diorama. Because of that is is an open frame.
So i have told enough. My english is bad.


Here the pictures:







































That´s it. Thanks for watching. Hope you like it.

Hi,

Excellent work, I'm surprised that this is in 1/72 scale given the high level of detail, the groundwork especially is amazing for Braille scale!

Great work my friend,

James

Hi there, greetings from Trinidad. Great Diorama, if a picture speaks a 1000 words your diorama speaks millions. I would love to see more pictures especially construction pics. Your work is inspiring.

Daniel, super, I like the touches of the open end where the water is, and also the concrete with the metal grid in it. Such a very well constructed scene, any vehicle sitting there would look great.

Absolutely beautiful job, Daniel! I've never seen this vehicle or heard anything about it until now. Is this a kit or did you scratch build it?

Cheers,
Jan

Great dio Daniel. The muddy water is very realistic. In my opinion you could have depicted the "banks" of the water spot more wet due to the projection made by the other vehicles you mentioned in your story.
The groundwork is great too.

Hi

Thank you for your posts!!!


@globetrekker: Thank you. I´m glad you like it.


@JUSTK: I will post some pics in the next days! ;-) Thank you for your comment.


@firstcircle: Thank you!!! The small details (concrete with the metal grid) are little eye catcher in the (in my opinion) very simple groundwork.


@tread_geek: It´s a new vehicle from the russian army. First shown in Nischni Tagil in 2009. The kit is from cromwell. It´s resin. There is only some little scratch-work on it. There are som nice vid´s on YOUTU....!


@bison126: Taht´s right. But I have a lot of problems with the water. So i´m glad that it looks like it is. But maybe i will change what you say. Good idea!!! Thank you.

Interesting vehicle and very impressively done and presented. The diorama looks different but well done. Thanks for sharing!

Hi Daniel!

Great looking BMPT and the ground/water work on you dio is most superb! The Cromwell kits are so nice with a lot of detail and very little to do to them. looking forward to more of your work and welcome!

@SchoeniR6 – Daniel,

Excellent build with equally excellent figures and ground work.

This is so well done that it looks realistic and like a much larger scale build! Very well thought out display, you’ve skillfully blended in the vehicle to the groundwork and the groundwork to the water, these transitions are very hard to achieve in any scale and even more so in this scale. My favorite part of this is the Commands’ wool hat, nice touch. Nice set of photographs too.

Thanks for sharing and posting your work here, hope we see more . . .
