hi all! at last ive finished my first ever try in a war diorama it is a scene in one of the streets in east prussia during the first days of the german advance. i used a panther 2 tank by shanghai dragon and dragon figures yes, panther 2, i know that this tank was never used in combat , but what the hek, im just trying to have some fun here... listening to advices of fellow modellers here and as one of them suggested, i entitled it....
"The cat that never scratched" hehehe.

Looks good Yahoo photos don't do it justice. To small
Enjoy the day

Looks good, I also think the yahoopictures are a little bit to small. But anyway looks good.Thank you for sharing

Cris,
I agree with Jeff. It looks awesome!! If you have larger resolution images send them to [email protected] and I will put them up on the site.

Cheers,
Jim

Crismag--You are extraordinarily talented. As with your rally dios, I am in awe at the scenery you have made here. The weathering and battle damage on the tank is also very well done. If there is one criticism I can make it is that you have some men going in different directions. It's generally a good idea to focus all the figures' attention in one direction, unless there is a clear reason that they would be doing otherwise. I'm refering mainly to the man with the panzerfaust in your dio. Other than that, which is pretty minor, I absolutely love it, even if the tank never existed

Extraordinary, keep up the good work.

Looks great! Can I as what you used for the vines on the damaged building. It's hard to see in the photos but they look like someting I have been trying to accomplish on a dio of mine. Thanks jeff

thanks guys for you kind comments yes i think the photos at yahoo are so small... yes Jim, ill be submitting the high quality photos here to be posted, and maybe an article? about the soldier i placed facing the opposite direction behind the tank... well i placed it that way to show a soldier checking out the rear if someone is sneaking in hehehe, i guess it didnt convey the reason? anyway, most of the elements i used for the scenery is either scratch built of modified. maybe ill be explaining the details when i submit the article. again thanks all! WAIT! i entered this dio in the IPMS Philippines contest....wish me luck

hey guys! i just sent the hires images here for the gallery now you can see the details of the dio coz the pics at yahoo are too small!

I was going to post this morning that I liked the effect of the soldier standing rear guard, showing the difficulty of fighting w armor in built up areas. Isn't this how the Chechans -sp?- plinked a bunch of Russian tanks in the latest fighting..

Good luck in the contest.

I'd also love to see bigger pics.

Mike

thanks mike now i have one on my side :-) (just kiddin nik )
