Hi All

It's been a while scince I've posted anything I just finished off this small dio of a JagdTiger hiding inside some old ruin house waiting to take out some allied tanks one of the crew keeps his eyes open for tanks and another crew member talks to a passing soldier.

The JagdTiger is from DML and is built straight from the box.
The figures are from AB miniatures and the ruined house is from the old Airfix command post.

Everyting was painted with Vallejo paints and drybrushed and washed.

Ron

Fantastic work in small scale. As a showcase for the Jagd. this is great. The detail is wonderfully done.
A couple of diorama thoughts, I personally would like to see some more roof shingles and bricks. You could also add track marks on the ground behind the tank.

Don't lie, we all know that's 1:35. Everything looks too good to be 1:72, there's too much detail on the figures.
Well done!

Great Job on this one..I am impressed. As a person who has just recenty started to venture into this small scale. I know how hard it is to achieve these kind of results with such tiny parts..I love the whole scene. And the figures are very well done..Kudos...

Very nicely done dio. I would move the machine gun toting soldier since it looks like he is pointing it at the dismounted crewman.

Very nice, I agree with Sabot about the machine gun, thought he was holding a comrade hostage for a second

Hi guys

Thanks for the comments always apprecaite the feedback.

slodder - I see what you mean about the shingles and bricks a little more debri would've looked good.

I did put track marks down but made them to narrow for the Jagdtiger and did'nt realize till I put the tank down.

Sabot and Mech-Maniac -I did'nt pick that up until you both mentioned it thanks for pionting it out.

Ron

Very nice little dio you have there. The details are very well worked.
I fully agree with the ideas such track markings, machine pistol and roof shingles.
Thanks for sharing
