Your diorama is an absolute masterpiece 😎

Bradinpa, I used “Super Gold” CA glue with an accelerant to glue the tracks part back on. CA glue is often used for attaching metal photo-etched (PE) parts to plastic or resin and doesn’t dissolve/bond the plastic. The glue isn’t cheap (a 1 oz. Bottle costs around $18) but it’s worth the cost...

You’re welcome, Hunter Rose! Glad those pics will help you with your modifications 😃

braddinpa, fixing the spare tracks on the Jagdpanzer IV is very much possible! The spare tracks are a solid metal piece that mounts to the front armor glacis via a couple pegs that insert into holes on the vehicle. I used an exacto knife to carefully and gradually pry off the part. I then did...

Absolutely stunning work, Issac 😎

The Kursk Panzer III is totally worth it. The model does not have as many opening hatches as the War Park or JJD Panzer IVs, but the paint and detail is amazingly beautiful. If you get a Jagdpanzer IV, the winter or Normandy versions with the side skirts are the best. There’s a lot of accuracy...

Great use of John’s existing Tiger I Early Production tooling 😎

Great work, Paul! Nice job on blending the backdrop and the rubble 😎

Guess I needed to read your post more carefully, lol! Still, it’s an amazing diorama.

Really awesome work, Dragoon! I don’t collect this range, but your display is awesome and very dramatic. Lots to take in and enjoy 😎

As I recall from Mastercom, you made me go back to the original thread on this Panther from 2019 to see what people were saying. While most collectors really liked it (myself included) the great and very knowledgeable Hunter Rose commented on the accuracy of the 12th SS Pz. Div. unit markings...

Thanks everyone for the kind comments on this display! I’m liking the way the JG Miniatures scrub camouflage worked out on my Panther tank (as well as the Stug IV in my other post) and have a few other vehicles I may apply it to. Below is the historical photo I used for reference when applying...

Thank you for the kind words on my display, everyone! Mastercom, I would guess the reason FL didn’t include the zimmerit on this particular model was to keep their production costs down. They used their general Stug IV tooling for multiple repaints, some of which represented late war vehicles...

Major Dan, here are some pictures of a vignette display I made with K&C’s M48 Patton tank last August. The three tank riders on the rear deck are the VN069 set (originally intended for the M113 ACAV) but more figures could certainly fit on… Hope this helps provide you with some inspiration for...

A few pics of a diorama I’ve had out for a bit, showcasing First Legion’s NOR091 German Panther Ausf G (Early) tank model, representing a vehicle from the 3rd Co, 12th Pz Regt, 12 SS Hitlerjugend during the Normandy campaign, 1944. I got my model when it was first released in 2019 and it’s...

Definitely! The Elefant was definitely a monster of an armored fighting vehicle… And to believe when I first opened the box, I thought First Legion’s Elefant looked to small 🤣

Great display, Andy! I think these are some of the first pics we’ve seen of the new First Legion Kursk SS figures “in the wild”. They look fantastic 😃

Thanks everyone! I was never quite happy with the “French Bocage” style foliage I had in my original version of this display. The Birch trees look a lot better and more like what one might see in northwestern Ukraine or southeast Poland where this Elefant was operating during the summer of 1944.

A German Stug IV from 17. SS-Panzergrenadier-Division "Götz von Berlichingen" accompanied by some panzer grenadiers make contact with the enemy somewhere in France during the Battle of Normandy… First Legion’s Normandy Stug IV (NOR089) has long been one of my favorite 1/30 scale AFVs and I’ve...

I recently updated my vignette diorama with the FL Elefant to include some birch trees from Sheffield Miniatures. These trees seem a little more appropriate for the Eastern Front… Otherwise, the scene remains mostly the same. Just wanted to share.
