discussion Dragon's 1/72 KingTiger kit#7362

[Guest]

Well after looking at all the models and Dio's you guys have put together,

I thought i would have to show you one of mine.

It's Dragon's 1\72 kingTiger Henschel production plus 3rd fallschirmjager Div.

The Dio by Backbreaker (My first Diorama.) gave me a lot of tip's and insperation.

This is a simple dio, Not to be compaired to the work of Joolz.

The Tank is OOB except for the right side track guard (lead foil) and wire grab

handles on the hatches.

The Figures Have masking tape chin straps, Ammo belts and weapon straps.

That is 1:72??? Wow, if you had not said, I would have thought it a very good 1:35!!! Lovely little diorama, or may I be so bold as to call it a vignette. Very nicely built and I am sure Joolz will be so pleased he inspired someone to build one as good as this.

That's a fabulous build - especially in 1/72! Well done Nick. Gotta be *****

Superb weathering, which is so easy to overdo at this scale. A diorama to be very proud of.

Cheers for the comments Guys

I Agree with you Graham I think it's a vignette too (The base is only 110mm x 110mm).

But I was told, Vignettes: A scene including no more than three human figures with livestock and/or personal equipment on a simple scenic base.

By a member of A plastic model club.

Thanks again fella's

This is great Nick, it's hard to believe it's only 1:72 scale. Loving the it matey top marks from me.

Have fun, John

That is well good. 1/72nd scale too!

If you had not said so I would thought it was a 1/35 as well.

So how wide is a chin strap at 1/72 LOL!

A very nice piece and some thing to be proud of.

Hi Nick, nice 1/72 scale diorama especially about camouflage paint of all figures.

Hi Nick

That dio is quite something! The camouflage on the fallschirmjagers is fabulous. Brilliant work and well presented

Got to be 5 stars

Cheers
