[PanzerWomble]

Tiger of the 501st Schwere PzAbt , in La Gleize , on the evening of the bug out after days of surrounded , cut out from supplies and constant bombardment . Last minute arrangement for the withdrawal and destruction of the vehicles. 

Made this a few years back , still fond of it , not shown it here before, but as I took a bunch of new pics today thought I'd be cheeky. 

Tamiya King Tiger , Fruil Tracks and other metal embellishments , Krycell snow effects .

Scratch made buildings ,scenary etc  MiniArt and Tamiya figures. 

Cheers

Very well built. I like those dioramas which are not over crammed with stuff. Well balanced. Like this one👍. You can sense the atmosphere.

Well done!

I agree with FullArmor - really nicely done with a great use of negative space to avoid overcrowding.  Your dioramas are a big inspiration to me as I start trying to model more diorama scenes!

Thank you Mike  - my top tips if you're interested  ...'less' is indeed 'more' ...and not putting anything square to the base adds a more dynamic 'conversation' .

Nicely done!  Agreed with everyone on the 'less is more' when it comes to the diorama. And with Mike on watching your work, and learning from it.

Like you said PW, the positioning of the elements is very dynamic and snow and ice make it look like a chilly snapshot, well done.

Cheers Rob
