Pretty gruesome, but an extremely well executed and intriguing diorama!

Build completed so far. Still waiting for the metal barrel. Quite challenging to attach the Zimmerit- PE parts. Was annoying when it comes to round shapes on the turret front armor. Treating those metal parts with some heat, made them much more handy to shape. First time using Friul tracks, very time consuming, but the best track result I´ve seen so far 🙂

looks certainly good already🙂

Thanks bud!

Lower part of the tank was painted and received weathering. Tracks were mounted and connected. Rear fenders were the installed. Next is masking lower section and painting the upper parts.

Nice job. I'm taking a seat.
Is it going to be some "Magdeburg-stuff" again?

coporado
Thanks, Christoph! This time its Normandy subject 🙂

Next time I'll read the headline.
Stupid me...

The tank received several rounds of paint. Starting with red brown primer, followed by dark yellow as base color and finally the camo pattern. Next is detail painting, and weathering.

Initial weathering steps were conducted; chipping the Zimmerit and the metal surfaces.

Weathering of the exhaust section using acrylics and enamels.

Spanjaard
looks fantastic

Neuling
I agree. Very interesting dents and battle damage.

coporado
Thanks, Gentlemen! 🙂

The exhaust looks awesome! How did you make that?

coporado
Thanks, Nick!
The exhaust was painted in a medium grey first. The parts having armor plates underneath were left in the original painting, as these area is less affected by heat and corrosion. Then a warm white followed by a reddish brown was applied using the sponge technique. Next was rust tones painted and blended with enamels. Colors of the original camo scheme where then applied with a sponge in the areas with less corrosion, to turn out the different stages of heat impact. Finally the upper parts received a slightly black shade to simulate the exhaust fume grime.

Nick N
Thanks a lot, this is very inspiring 🙂

Tank completed, time to start the dio 🙂

Kick off for the base. Styrofoam is the desired material for house, road and pavement. As the road and pavement is covered with lots of dirt and debris, I added cobblestone only randomly. For the road thin sheets of styrofoam were shaped using a 3D printed rolling pin. In order to create more texture the stones were carved with a pencil. For the pavement an old brush was used to shape the small stones. Everything was painted in several greyish, brownish, sandy tones with acrylics.

The shape of house was cut with the Proxxon hot wire. To make the facade more interesting I added some "decoration" around the upper windows. A border seperates the upper and lower floor. Next is closing the gaps between the decoration elements at the upper windows and cover the lower floor with wood.

Ready to strike... Nice little diorama full of tension. I really like the painting and weathering of the vehicle.

Kari Saarni
Wouh!

Juskifo
I love
nice scene for a nice gear

Villiers de Vos
Very nicely done.

Mathias Decommere
Very nice! Are those trees scratch -build? How did you do it?

Viking93
Thank you. The trees are from a tree set, but i upgraded them to look more realistic. I sprinkled sawdust on the trunk to replicate the rough bark texture and repainted the trunk and green to get a more realistic look.

Johne 69
Well done 👍

Doubtingmango
Great work! Those trees are very nice and the mud effect is spot on
