Military sales show room?

[Guest]

hi all i am new to this site so please forgive me if this is in the wrong place. i built my first tank during the christmas madness and enjoyed it imensley (well apart from the tracks the next one i buy wont have individual track links)anyway whilst i was weathering it i had an idea for a dio, i thought what if you could buy a tank from a showroom like a car so i decided to build that car lot,sales yard or whatever you would call it so here is the progression so far

I thought it fitting to use the tigers box since it is going to be the main part of the dio

I have given the ground on the forcourt a very rough surface as i think if you had 60 odd tons of tank over the ground on a regular basis the ground would be pretty messed up.

the Tiger no longer has the flowers i wasnt happy with them

i have got 2 other models to put on the dio will post some pics of them later, what do you think so far

That is certainly different and I like the idea of it, a novel away to show armour. Good show, thinking outside the box and coming up with a totally novel build.

Question is: Did the Tiger pass its M.O.T?

Nice idea. I hope you will put some swing price tickets on the merchandise! I can imagine them on the end of a barrel. And a poster "Sale now on".

[Guest]

That's a great idea watch this space

[Guest]

ok i have completed the last vehicle for this dio now just the sales yard to complete and a few figures to cut up.

[Guest]

Different....but I love the different and new ideas

As Polux says, very different, and why not, not following the conventional can lead to some startling results. Like this and the way it has gone, don;t forget to showcase when complete in the 'completed diorama section.'
