All illustrations show the gun out of battery. I don't know what they were thinking, but I can see where U just followed the instructions.
German PAK40 anti tank gun emplacement diorama 1:35 (Winter)
- Thread starter pjgtech
- Start date
Paul I guess is this the way you would transfer it behind a vehicle? Maybe that’s why they did it that way. I built this kit before seems like there was an option for that but wasn’t listed in the instructions it had me puzzled.
Looks really good your hard work paid off. I like dio in the winter scheme
Okay, let's just remedy this battery thingy, I agree with Paul but in another light perhaps the gun has just fired and the loader is preparing another round as it starts traversing back to the battery position caught in a split second in motion.
As for the winter, it shows the start of light snow dropping and in the heat of battle the troops haven't yet put on their winter clothing.
Overall too much for the viewer to absorb and figure out for themselves what's going on and that would be the flaw of the dio in terms of storytelling. Seriously I thought you would be sculpting winter clothing onto the figures with putty and was anxious to see that but as you say this is all a learning curve which I would give good marks for trying. Really good effort and hope to see more dioramas from you with what you have learnt. One is not all destruction sheets tell everything so research is vital.
A pat on the back is good but feedback and good constructive criticism is even better for improvement.
Cheers,

Sculpting winter clothing is a bit beyond my current skills, maybe one day, but certainly not yet!
I did not have any German figures in that scale (1:35) in winter clothes, so had to go with what I had.
Thanks for the feedback though, as you say it all helps, good and bad and certainly constructive.
I like to think that I'm always open to taking on advice and learning new things.
