Relaxing tankies - 1/72 - completed.

[rickoshea52]

This is my finished diorama of a group of German tank crewmen relaxing after a pretty heavy city battle.

The building is a heavily detailed Pola HO gauge kit with added beams, roof , furniture and collapsed ceilings. Extra details came from McKeeman Models and the scrap box while the tank is from Revell and the crew are by Preiser. The cobble stoned street is by Metcalf and the drain is by Ten Commandments with genuine rubble from my garage floor.

That's really good Rick! The STuG looks great & having been painting 1/72 figures I know how hard that is!

The amount of little details really gives the viewer plenty to enjoy.

That is lovely. Hard to see that it's a one seventytooth. Nice one.

Great result Rick. Plenty to see and nice to read of someone else - apart from me - sweeping out the garage!

That would be considered well detailed in 1/35 so achieving it in 1/72 is awesome (very much over-used that word but I couldn't think of another!)

That is fantastic if you hadn't said it was 172 scale I would have thought it was 1/35 so that makes it even better
