Joachim SiglIt looks amazing but the inside of the drivers hatch should be olive drab and not white

coporadoHi guys, Thanks for your comments. @Joachim: Following my research there were different paintings of the hull compartment, either olive drab or white. The inside of the turret was olive drab indeed.

Gareth WindsorFantastic. Great detail, even down to the mud in the Jeep's wheel arches.

Arne GreveHey Sascha, the cameraman looks good, but I would say, the M1941 Parson Jacket is a little bit to dark. You can paint it in beige or light, light, light green. It depends on the manufacturing company.

coporadoHi Arne, I consciously painted the uniform this way since the scene takes place in April 1945 where the M1941 was almost completely replaced by the M1943. I know that the form of the jacket is not correct but I didn´t dare to mould the neccessary M1943 changes. I tried to adjust the boots with Greenstuff which was not successful (see the left foot). I replaced the boots cutting it from another figure.

Arne GreveHi Sascha, ok thats the way you move. So for this, the color is correct and that the jacket isn´t it, forget it, nobody knows. ;-D

Arne GreveSascha, it is really cool. The diorama have all, what it need. It tells a story, and I remember, it would be a true story. It have details. You ca find much of them. Well done, mate.

coporadoThanks for your comments mates! @Arne: Indeed it is based on a true story/ picture taken during the advance on Magdeburg.

Ulf PetersenLike I told you before, Sascha: this diorama is excellent!👍 It combines great modelling skills with a very good understanding to arrange scenes that work in the eye of the beholder. I am very curious what you are going to create as next.

coporadoUlf, MRMLA: Thanks for your comments mates, appreciated!
Arne: The background is simply a picture found on the WWW. Downloaded and resized with a poster software (freeware), printed on A4 paper and put together to one large pic. Pinned the large pic on a cardboard and placed the Dio in front of it. The taken shots were edited with Gimp or Photoshop to remove cutting lines where the A4 paper is put together. It´s a bit tricky to find the correct background size corresponding with the Dio (the house in the background is too large) and the angle is not correct. Will take a few new shots with natural background as soon as spring comes around.
