Hello all. Merry Christmas!
This is my first thread here at Planet Armor, and I would like to share this holiday’s project with you guys.
Some time ago while looking at some photos this one caught my eye.
I thought it was interesting to have the tanks driving past the Acropolis. So I decided to make diorama of something similar. I looked at my hoarded models and discovered the old and venerable Tamiya’s Panzer IV ausf D.
Since this kit is older than I am. I knew there would be loads of corrective work to do but decided to give it a try anyways. Then I found the ICM figure kit of German Tank Crew 1941-42. I really liked the figures posing for a photograph and after some reading an idea came to me.
The tank would be part of the 2nd Panzer Div and set during the invasion of Greece in 1941. The story would be simple the tank has passed an ancient Greek Temple while its unit advances into Macedonia. The crew (soldiers at the end) decided to take a small turistic souvenir and take a picture next to the ruins. I made a quick sketch of how I wanted the Diorama to look.
The idea seems clear in my mind. Now the question is, can this old model kit cut it in an age of super kits and aftermarket details? We would have to wait and see.
