You are right Dustoff, had a problem with the unit insignia decal when it shrank around the pistol port. Other than that the rest went on without a problem.

Maaaan what a beauty
This diorama shows the action very well the figures are superb painted and just the looks of the Ferdinand makes me wanna built mine too. Is this the DML Ferdinand?? And did you use any PE on it. I`d also would like to know what Figures you used. I recognise a couple of DML figs and the russians are they Tamyia? .
A thing I would change is making the crushed barrel laying in the field more Rusty and chipped. Now it looks like the russians Threw the barrel at the Germans in a last attempt to stop them. And I would add a little more chipping around the hatch on the back of the ferdinand but that is talking afterwarths Brilliant dio with a very nice story

Thank you Faust. It is a DML Ferdinand and the figures are from Tamiyia, Jaguar and Warriors. There is Aber P/E on the tank as well as Fruil tracks and a Jordi Rubio barrel. Thanks for the comment on the crushed barrel. I think I have some weathering to do!

Nice setup and nice detail. The beastie also looks nice and the groundwork adds much to the dio . Very good work
