Hi all!
Let me show you my latest completed diorama (or rather vignette). This half-track model kit from Zvezda (No.3588) and this is one of my older build approx. three years ago.
Today I finished the small base and figures too.
I'll hope you like it.

Very cool build, especially the ground base and the troop figure aiming the MG's!

Some parts of track were lack of heavy mud, above the interleaved wheels (could be clearly observed from picture 21 & 22), but I believe that you were able to fix that soon as well-done as you applied on the lower section of the track (that directly touch onto the ground).

Also, you may add a sling for binocular held by the officer and add one more dot into his dress to represent a button above his belt buckle

Nice touch, keep on going, and happy modelling, Antal!



Warm regards from Indonesia

Thanks, guys!

Garry: I will fix the mud on track section. And I'll try to do the binocular strap. Because I've been fixed everything, so it will be a bit more difficult. And finally, I'm a little stupid: where would be the plus button on officer's dress?

Ziggy: The branches made from Busch natural wood and Noch light green and medium green leaves. Unfortunately the Busch wood is extremely fragile, should be treated with caution.

very well done! Both kit and base. I loved the recessed nature of the wooden base. It enables the type of ground cover that you installed. The stain on the base also brought out the color of the vehicle.
I never make comments of this nature but I would toss the officer with the binoculars. In my opinion he reduces the model presentation. it is perfect without him. The gunner is pretty good.

Hello Antal,
A super effort!
I like the camouflage used on the vehicle (net, branches and mud), the chipping and weathering. Very realistic.
The base that you created also came out very nice.
I also agree, to leave the officer off your diorama. There is no interaction with the machine gunner.
An excellent effort.
Regards,
Villiers

Thanks to Everyone!

I removed the figure. So it looks better?
I'll be use this officer to another build. For example to this paused Kursk-diorama. Also, I want put two or three panzergrenadiers on the base. What do you think?

Ah yeah, I'm forget to inform you, it clearly showed at picture number 4.. But, since the figure was removed, it won't be a big deal anymore. I also agree that the decision will be your best fit for this vignette!

Anyway, thanks also for sharing about the ingredients you used for the bushes, looks so good and kindly natural. Best local product, aren't they? One more thing, for your topic showing the Panther tank, you may create a new topic for it. It will generate more discussion and sure, more contribution from you for this lovely site

Keep great modelling, Antal


Kind regards,


Garry

I hope that you think of red circled area.
Unfortunately, the paint worn off from there, but I will fix it.
Yes, I bought the wood and foliage in local modelshop.
And of course will be a new topic for Panther diorama.

Best regards,

Antal

Hi all!
A small upgrade on this old vignette. I decided that I take it to a competition in this weekend.

Very happy you removed the officer figure. I did.t want to write anything but I am glad someone else did. It took away from the overall effort! Loved the discussion about the supplier for camo foliage.The base is great! And the kit is great also. When you watch videos of films of German WW2 tanks and armored vehicles later in the war there is a wealth of foliage on them.
