I put this PAK 40 in a small dio and posted it a few months ago . After some suggestions from a few of you I started over on this one . So here is the link for the old post and the new look so far for this dio . Any new ideas are welcome ,Toad out

That's very good! How did you cut into the wood? X-Acto? Anyhoo, it's the little fellars that caught my eye; What's the guy on the upper level doing? Other than that, it's coming along nicely. Thanks for your time.

My guess is the guy on top is spotting for the gun crew below. Looks good. Whats going in the foreground to the front left of the gun? Theres a lot of deadspace there to fill. Rubble, extra gear? Its got potential alright. Keep at it. Looking forward to seeing the end result. "Q"

Wow! Talk about deja-vu! Here are a couple of pix of my first dio, circa 1975, of a German gun crew and support troops in what appears to the approaching US patrol to be an abandoned farm house (the complete dio wound up on a 3' X 3' sheet of plywood). Hope this gives you some ideas.

hi a point to note the trails should be as far apart as posible at the moment your pak is in the towed position and it is nearly impossible to fire in that mode , hope this helps cheers ian

Great idea. Here is one I did on a similar theme 12-18 months ago. Big thing is remember how much ruble comes from a destroyed building...





Looks like it going to be a winner… Once you are done I will need to ask you for advice and input!

OMG I am so planning one similar to that right now!
yours is coming along nicely though. Mine is in the snow with the same paK gun crew (ootb with the kit no?) and some of the dragin ambush at poteau figs. you will need lots of rubble too. ---- do you make resin figs? coz i busted out with a couple a few weeks ago and the sprue chunks look like bricks! a bit! So there you are
Camo net looks good too...

nice diorama idea...just my 2 cents; the PAK and especially the officer or NCo with binoculars is too far from the window or opening on the wall

Hey,
Great start on what looks like a tried and tested theme.
The one question going around my head is how did it get into the building??
Looking forward to more pics
