I built this probably 3 yrs ago (maybe 4). It was for a theme we had at our local CAMS model show, Battle of Kursk.
There were actually 2 dioramas being made....while mine had a T34, crew bailing out and running from attacking Germans, by friend was going to do the opposite, a knocked out PzIV, crew bailing out and running from attacking Russians. I finished mine, he never has.
Tamiya T34/76, Model Kasten tracks. Figures are all from Masterbox. The birch tree is scratch built using wire for the trunk and branches, plaster for the body of the tree, painting, and the a set of Kamizukuri laser cut paper Birch leaves and branches used. Woodland Scenics for the grass and such, rock wall from rocks in the driveway. Lupins were hand made using an article I found in a book somewhere. This was my first (and only so far) large diorama, needless to say I don't do many dioramas like this due to lack of space to display them...lol...and the fact that I think I suck at it!
