Here is my latest Dio. The tank is the panzer 1 from HobbyBoss, never done a hobbyboss kit before and is was really really good kit, I had no issues with it at all until I broke off the cannon and had to replace it with a metal rod
the figures are from Tamiya and dragon.
apologies for the pictures, as they are from my phone
comments welcome

Nice dio for sure. It has just enough in it and not too much in such a small area! Nice!

Nice little dio you've done Gary, nice one!
Like the painting, from the figures, to the panzer, to the groundwork, all looks good. Slight query...., as to the time frame? The Panzer 1 must have been early war years, '39-40, invasion of Poland, battle of France etc..., before they were surpassed with the Panzer 2s,3s,4s, etc... But the uniform & equipment of the troops perhaps lean towards mid-late war with the panzerfaust....?
I maybe wrong, certainly no expert , but I was going to suggest a nameplate with a time & location when it got me thinking....
Good dio though,
Cheers

thanks for the comments
Simon I am sure you are right i am not that accurate when it comes to time lines. Just had figures already painted and wanted to fill the scene

Very well done scene! The groundwork & painting look really good. My only suggestion would be to put slings on their weapons.

Is it just the angle of the photos or does the commander look out of scale for the vehicle? The work is excellent but it seems the figures are a different scale...
