Another instant dio project. done @ only 5 hour time. the panzer was straight from the box from italeri. done some time ago. i thought it wud be great to have a small base for it so here goes...

Ive added some camo netting as u can see here in the finished diorama. the base are from plaster and ive put some real sand and static grass for the ground work.

well i think i dont have much to say on this panzer dio coz currently im focusing on my newest diorama .The Ardennes Offensive 1944. The one ive planned for sometime ago...the resuplying tiger with marching troops and briefing smoking soldiers..

ni dah boleh sambung buat laaa..heheheh setelah lama menghilang

















thanks...

Looks like another instant Opie original. A belated Selamat Hari Raya to you Opie and Zaidi (as mentioned in Mislmd post).

Simple and effective vignette. Nice posing and even better weathering on the Panzer. Just a small suggestion. If you feel like it you can stick some dried tea leaves to your camo netting to break up the netting shape a bit as the netting holes appear slightly off scale especially on the barrel. Its not critical as the model still takes center stage.

Can't wait to see the massive Ardennes dio.

WOW 5 hours? It takes me that long just to get my work area set up ..haha
Nice looking panzer ... hoping my Marder III turns out as nice for my Ardennes thing.
What did you use for your tree limbs? I was thinking to use some floral twigs from an old floral arrangement I got sitting in the back room. Thought I could add some tea leaves and other dried herbs for the leaves.
I did read about using steel wool for the base of small bushes somewhere on the internet then you sprinkle an assortment of dried herbs all over. Your branches look quite natural.
