Hi Gang....

This is my completed dio for the Remember Market Garden campaign. The PzKpfw IV is the Tamiya kit, with Aber etch, Cavalier Zimm, and Friul tracks. The motorcycle and rider came from the Tamiya Ardennes King Tiger kit. I used the Aber etch set on the bike. The paratrooper figure is a Dragon guy and the dudes on the tank are warriors figs.

I had a ton of fun with this build.... any comments or suggestions are more that welcome. If you see anything that jumps out at you... please lemme know :-)

Later-

Great build. The face on the guy sitting on the turret is great. My only suggestion would be to maybe add some dust to the vehicles and the soldiers boots. Good work, Steve

Excellent Job Jeff.. especially the bike... Your giving me lot's of encouragement to attempt mine someday!!!.. Although those spokes look scary!!! But if you say they're not that bad, then I'll believe you... lol but then that means I have to believe that other parts of the Aber are scary!!!! #:-)

Jeff you are a master at these dioramas'.I love the suttle dust on the trees at the side of the road but have to agree that the soldiers boots and the vehicles need a dusting too.

Well as they say, "You bagged the proverbial elephant" with this one, i.e. another home run dio.

The overall concept is very natural with the positioning of the the vehicles and figs, --very very authentic and real.

The shrubbery, landscaping really complements the scene, nothing seems forced or out of place. Very solid.

The IV is one of your usual stunners, solid construction, AM stuff, and good overall paint job. The figs are well done also, ie the camo and skin colors.

The only nit I have is the IV looks to be sitting on top of the base, don't know if its possible now, but if the tracks could be nestled into the "ground" it would add a sense of weight--but that is a picky nit---this dio is a winner. Enter it somewhere Jeff, and bring home the ribbon it deserves.

Well done!

I like the trees/bushes in front - it evens it out very nicely.

Nicely done

(and I'm used to the different camo schemes too #:-) )

I dont quite get the setting of it. Why is there a man with a sten gun right next to some germans?

i have watched this dio in earlier stages and it concluded to a nice one. I d take a notice over the exhausts colour that from some angle seems greenish and not rusted, so if its not the lighting and the shooting angle maybe you could do some rusty fixing over it !! Nice work

hi Jeff,
very nice painting on the tank and figures.the diobase also very good,I liked the groundwork and trees.I think a few foot/wheel/track prints would look good too. congrats on the wonderful built.

Really nice dio you got there mate. I really like how the figures are interfering with each other. Great paintjob an outstanding Panzer VI. The Motor is one of my Favourites great Job with those Aber PE sets.

Well Done

Perfection Jeff ! You have an excellent diorama here. The Pz IV speaks for itself, and your figures are very well-done. The DKW is really good too (and all that PE). Groundwork and setting, are spiffo !!

The idea of a diorama is to convey as story. You've nailed it on this one, Jeff ! Bravo !!!

Cheers !

Robert
