Hi this is my first diorama i show at this site.
Basically it is somewhere in Tunisia and Romel inspects the preparations.

I know that the red oxide might be wrong i have not done so much background research.
But how could i make it better or what's your opinion?

Hi Joel,

a huge plethora of elements....I'm lost!!

Seriously, there is a lot of good things in this diorama. My favourite element is the group of tankmen loading in the ammo. More than convincing IMHO!
Vehicles are done with care and attention, not always "my" attention I admit, but then again, who am I?
I'm not expert enough to comment on the Tiger variant....keep my fingers crossed it's the right one.

The sand bags around the Flak are way too big!!! Unless they are filled with lightweight stuff...!!!
The Feldwebel ordering such things is a sadist and should be sent to a Strafbataillon on the Ostfront!!

The whole scene may be a little crowded, but that's always the problem when you must squeeze half a square kilometre into a transportable size board.

The only thing I don't like at all are the palm trees..!!
The leaves look plastic (although probably PE?) and are far too few/flat...and the palms are "planted" as if they were poles of a washing line. Moreover, Tunisia is less full of palm trees than people think, especially the areas around the Kasserine pass.

Well done all the same!!

Cheers

Romain

Hi yes i agree with the sandbags they are too big.
Also the palm tree looks more like plastic i got wrong color on them. They are Pe.
I was uncertain to have them because i haven't seen a picture with palms.
thanks for your opinion 1stjaeger
