The featured diorama shows you a scene during the late war period on the Eastern front. German troops have managed to knock out a soviet T34 tank and after a while, during a break in the fights, they walk to the tank to investigate it.

I''m sure you like it !

Hi Danny

great Diorama!!!!

Just a little nitpick : it would translate "Deutscher Sieg an der Ostfront!"

best regards

Hey Danny,

It looks wonderful, great composition and a wonderful story line.

Just one nitpick, isn't the panzerschrek a shaped charge? Wouldn't it leave a really tiny hole instead of a huge gaping twist of metal?

I really like this dio. The whole overgrown feel of it is cool. Only think that seems odd to me is the blue uniform on some of the figs. I'm not sure if it's just the photographs. I think someone mentioned this in an earlier thread too.

The dio looks great but there is one thing I don't like - the pose of crewman on tower. He just doesn't fit to t-34 I think. His hands look like they should be placed on something (espesially his right hand).
Great work with path of tank on grass!

I like your painting skills.

But is this old man in the background a member of the "Volkssturm"??
Did the Volkssturm fight together with SS-Units in Russia? I thought it consisted of old man and young boys, meant to defend the homecountry in the last days, but maybe I´m wrong...

Also if the tank was hit by at least 2 shells plus it cought fire, wouldnt the russian crew member in the turrent be terribly burned? Instead he looks quite untouched...

And as already mentioned the title should be "Deutscher Sieg an der Ostfront".

Well, that were my thoughts on this diorama. Apart from that it looks good.
