Category: Diorama Submitted by an Individual
I've been looking forward to posting this! Some of you have been following my completely scratch-built 37mm Anti-Tank gun in this thread: http://www.sixtharmygroup.com/portal/viewtopic.php?t=17978. We'll, I finally finished it and had a chance to take some photos this afternoon. This diorama represents the 1st ID, probably in Italy, 1943 (since the M3 wasn't used much after that). As stated, the AT gun is completely scratch-built. The figures are bashed from mostly DID and some DML parts. Both headsculpts were repainted by me with acrylics and pastels. The helmet insignia are hand painted. The crates are built-up kits from greatplanes27, slightly weathered. The 37mm ammo is from Panzerwerk, painted by me, with some custom made waterslide decals for that extra detail. The sandbags and barbed wire were custom sewn and made by me. The jeep in the background is my kit-bashed Hasbro seen in this thread: http://www.sixtharmygroup.com/portal/viewtopic.php?p=120844&highlight=#120844. I basically dug up the backyard to make this set. The Sherman that's out of focus in the background is actually a 1/18 model from Target that I repainted and weathered. I did a little forced perspective trick to make it fit. Enjoy the photos:
