“On the Road to Prokhorovka” - Tiger Tank & Troops from War Park (1 Viewer)

[tmanthegreat]

I recently received the new War Park Tiger I model (AX007) from George at Minuteman Toy Soldiers. The model replicates a tank in the 2nd SS Panzer Division “Das Reich“ during the Battle of Kursk. It is a beautiful model! I have it displayed with some of the new War Park SS figures, which themselves are well done and have some neat poses.

Here’s a few photos of my vignette depicting the Tiger tank heading towards Prokhorovka on July 12, 1943, and one of the largest tank battles in history.

Thanks everyone for t he kind comments
The War Park Tiger tank is really an impressive model and definitely worth picking up!

Panzer ace, the crates and spent shells were made by Unimax Forces of Valor and came with a couple of their old diorama accessory sets. While technically 1/32 scale, they work just fine in a 1/30 scale setup.

You’re welcome, Panzer Ace!

However things have definitely gotten way to hot in my area of CA... A massive wildfire (called the Creek Fire) in my county has burnt some 167,000 acres of forestland since starting Friday night, destroyed over 300 structures, and is still burning with 0% containment. My family has a vacation home that was in the fire’s path but it appears to have been spared... Quite interesting times for sure!

Again, I have always enjoyed your dioramas, I look forward to seeing more of them.

More importantly, I am glad that you and yours are safe. The fires in California are beyond devastating. I have followed them closely from Texas.

T-Man,

I also hope you and your family stay safe from these horrible fires.

T-Man,

Thanks Luis! We are safe... My family and I live about 50 miles to the west, though we have some property almost directly in the line of the fire. It seems to have been spared at this point.
