Just a small diorama/vignette for my current build, a Tamiya 1:35 German WWII Pak40 anti tank gun with figures.

So my idea for the dio is a simple small base, with the gun emplacement in some cover, partially hidden, either behind some shrubbery, bushes, maybe a fallen tree? at the edge of a field/paddock overlooking enemy territory or at some sort of checkpoint.

The base will be a fairly plain grass field, maybe some muddy areas.

The kit comes with three figures, a commander, a loader and an aimer, but I may add one or maybe two other figures. The kit also comes with one large ammo case and some shells (used and unused), so I may add just a few little extra details, accessories to the scene too.

I may well use this small diorama as a test for snow/ice, as I am thinking of doing a winter diorama for my upcoming Tamiya GB (German Half Track in 1:48 scale) and having never done a winter scene before, this one will be a good guinea pig for me.

Base so far and intended materials for snow, etc....
