Here is the diorama base as it stands now. It has a nice some what even coat of primer and a partial interior for the building ruin. The floor is made from craft sticks that have been split in two. I varied the length here and there to break it up even further. Still a ways to go. My Commanders MG broke off but I think I can fix that easy enough. The crew is added at this point although they arent in their final positions as yet. Lots of minor stuff to do, but thought I would share where it is at since my last post. Comments welcome. "Q"

Hi Matthew, you have an amazing dio going here. From the figs and uniforms to the king tiger to the base...it spells winner. Looking forward to seeing more updates on this. Cheers Kevin

Kevin, Thanks for the comments. "Q"

Coming along really well and if it's anything like the tiger you've done it's going to be a great dio.

Great job Red! And theFigs are really nice too!

great looking dio there matt, nice composition and setting. the tank and crew figures are top-notch too.
good work.

...btw i think the ruined bldg could use some figures on the ground, on the upper floors or behind the wall- just to add some interest there....

A great dio going here. Very nice figures and tank. I cant wait to see base painted.

Great job is going out there
It's not important if it's going slow but it's important to be steady

Thanks to all for the encouragement. With the pressures of work and "other" outside activities, its a wonder I get anything done on it at all. Since these pics were taken I was able to get the wall beams cut and installed, and a semi-sorta second floor started. Most of it will be damaged anyway, but It's started. Thanks again. "Q"

That looks really cool!

great job so far!

Martin

That looks absolutely fantastic. I love that building.

Cool dio, nice work!

Can't wait to see it finished

This looks like a wonderfull work so far.

keep it going and post more pics as you advance in finishing this one!

Red:

The diorama is looking very nice. I like the Kirin building and your efforts so far at scratchbuilding an interior. How do you plan to finish the painting of the base/rubble building?

Looking forward to additional pictures of your progress.

As with each update, this outstanding diorama just gets better and better. Anxious to see the completed version, but very much appreciate your sharing the progress. It gives us a chance to learn from your planning. I do like the idea of something in the building. Maybe an observation post/team that the crew is talking to? Keep us up to date,

I have been trying to think of what to add to help tie things together and I think that will definately do it! Thanks again. More pics to follow soon. First a roadwheel and now a great suggestion, you da' man! :-) "Q"
