I'd started a thread in the Soviet section but as the project has evolved into a diorama involving some figures and a base I thought it best to start a new thread here as it is no longer strictly 'armour' now.
I am planning to have the T-34 covering an infantry unit dismounting under small arms fire. I'll have a ruined building that the infantry are moving into for cover.
Here's the base:
The road section is made from an air-dry clay layer, that has had texture added with a roller from 'green stuff world'.

I dont think enough of the environment will be visible to put it in a specific city, though I did base it almost entirely on photos of Kharkov in early 1943.
I added a small part of a tram rail as this is something seen in the reference pics I looked at, and it adds a little interest to what would otherwise be a fairly boring part.

These are some concrete/brick pillars that will make up the still standing segments of the ruins:


Between these will be some concrete and brick chunks, burned wood and possibly some burned furniture or something like that.
Thanks for sticking with me this far! Here's some pics of how the T-34 and figures look at the moment - more pics can be seen in the original thread HERE





Thanks for looking!
