Johannes,
The catalog that I'm referring to comes from Marco Polo Imports out of Hong Kong and was a combo catalog of Dragon Models, Kirin and Concord Publications. Starting around 1993 they would show a few diorama that mostly came from Hobby Japan magazine. I recently emailed both Dragon Models and Hobby Japan to see if either could assist with this search of mine. I remember the dio that I've been describing labeled giving credit to who created it. But I haven't a clue now who it was. If I find a copy I will post a link.
Thanks guys...keep up the search.

I checked I few that I have and in the 2003 catalog there is a busy diorama with a elephant and a few more vehicles and building but it doesn't really show the complete Dio . If I knew how to load a picture on here I would so you could see if it's what you're looking for .
Interesting, I would love to see that diorama. Maybe there're different catalogues for different regions of the world after all. I got the 2003 edition, but couldn't find said diorama in its 23 pages.
Try imgur.com for uploading a picture, it's self-explanatory, basically. I'd highly appreciate it if you could arrange it. (I'm a big Ferdinand/Elefant nut. )
Cheers,

I remember seeing a few dioramas featuring a couple of Brummbars as well..

Thanks for your answer(s), David.
Keeping my fingers crossed you get a response from Dragon and/or Hobby Japan. The diorama must have had quite an impression on you.

Nice indeed.
Can anybody identify the figures in both Elefants?
I just read your earlier answer again. Somehow I must have missed the part about the catalog being from the importer, not DML itself. Now it's clear to me why I couldn't find the diorama in my copy - it's the regular DML catalog after all.
