The Diorama "Operation Barbarossa".

[FINbuster]

Hi, this is my third attempt at building a base for a model. I think that it turned out quite well. The diorama takes place in Operation Barbarossa. The Panzer (by Tristar , excellent model) has run into a mine and the crew have abandoned the vehicle after first inspecting the engine, for some reason unknown. The germans advance past the abandoned tank and... yea thats the story i guess.
I'm not sure about the name for this diorama, so suggestions are welcome.

The figures are OOTB and are from Preiser, not the best in detail but they were cheap and i like the poses. And the kit was full with extra ammo,weapons,helmets and such. The tank is also OOTB besides the engine compartment wich is the first resin item i have built, it didn't quite fit the Tristar kit as it was designed for the old Tamiya kit. The tree is some twig from our yard wich i painted and weathered. The base is plaster and some fine sand. Everything is painted in Vallejo acrylics, Humbrol enamels and some MIG pigments for the weathering.

Please comment/criticize/ask questions or give suggestions on what to do better.
