When I started to play 3.75in action figures and 1/18 scale vehicles couples of years ago, I dreamed to set up an exciting diorama of the battle of Berlin. I can start some work now.02.jpg04.jpg05.jpg03.jpg06.jpg07.jpg08.jpg11.jpg10.jpg12.jpg

Looks very nice! Only thing I would suggest is some weathering.. the Tiger wheels are too clean!
Yes, I should have it done. Thanks for your good suggestion. I will work on it later.

Very nice diorama, do you have a dedicated place in your home that you can leave it out as long as you wish? I only ask because my wife would tolerate me setting up a display but then she would also quickly petition me to remove it again 😉

Yeah, the floating Tiger tracks kill it for me. Not having independent suspension and individual linked tracks (like you T-34 has) is a very specific pet peeve of mine that I’m sure most people ignore.
Is that a Taigen, Torro or Heng Long?

Understand your situation. Most of my dioramas are set up temporarily and they are made up of the individual modules (eg. grounds, buildings, trees, backgrounds, etc). When I set up a diorama, it's more like shooting a film. When the job is done, the diorama will be dissassembled. Some dioramas will be left there for a long time display purpose.

It's Trumpeter 1/16 T-34(85). I love the floating tracks so I put this 1/16 T-34 in this 1/18 diorama.
