Well second tank and second attempt at a diorama but it came out ok in the end. Many thanks to the other chaps on the forum for the idea of using a grape stalk for woodland its only a small diorama but I think it goes well with the tank and crew. Hope you like it .

Thank you mobear I made the base a bit small but next time I will make a bigger one with more going on. Adding figures and some landscaping is a lot more fun.

thanks very much chaps glad you liked it. I am really getting interested in tanks now I can feel a major obsession coming on here. Just watched the 1st part of the new bbc documentry on the filthy 5th catch it on iplayer brilliant stuff and very interesting. Now the question is what tank to build next I fancy something big and scary any suggestions apart from the mother inlaw?

Nice little dio Mark, nice and busy ... goes together great doesn't it

Now you've build this you'll have the basis for bulding all the little M series tanks and you'll be able to through them together even quicker (if thats possible)

My recommendation for a nice big tank is the Academy ROK K9 self propelled howitzer, it has loads of detail and comes with a few figures so a dio is an option, i did this a fair few months back if you want to see what it looks like.

Well as it was so cheap I decided to go for the old Tamiya Panzer Kampfwagen 2 with 5 little figures should be good for another diorama session.

I know the kit you speak of, I dont know why it is so cheap. Only things i can think of is maybe its the wrong dimensions or has weak detail. Maybe it has a bigger hull to accomodate tamiyas old motors.

It seems to build into a sweet kit and it looks like a panzer 2 to me.

I say go for it. Have fun and post us lots of pics =)

will do have been looking at utube vids on making trees or might do a building scene this time should be fun
