Evening, I have been modelling WW2 German vehicles for some time, but lost my mojo, or was it to many fiddly separate track links, well whatever it went. Two years later I got it back by crossing to the dark side and making 'Wingy things' as armour modelers call planes. Any case, who cares it's just a hobby.
Si I have included pictures from two.
1) Dragon Initial production Tiger 1 around Stalingrad 1942 ish. The base is a corner crossroads from Great Northern Roads and made of plaster. Figures are from the kit and a Tamiya commander. the ammo crates, shells and coats are also with the kit.
2)Trumpeter Bergepanzer IV. This time on a mini Art crossroads, figures from Masterbox, the Tamiya worshop set, other odds and sods and ''Der Skat' cards from the wedb
Thanks for looking, all comments welcome,
Chris.
Ps Would a 1/32 ME109 loon ok on a 1/35 Famo and trailer

A very nice pair of builds; it certainly looks like your mojo had returned!
Best wishes

Re: Tiger 1 and Bergepanzer IV Diorama's
Great stuff, those are an excellent pair of dios and it's good to see a pair of vehicles that don't often appear on here - yes, yes, we see Tiger I's regularly but later versions than this very early type and I'm not sure I've ever seen a Bergepanzer IV on here. Top work.
I bet the 1/32 scale '109 would look good on the 1/35th Famo and trailer - although there is the obvious scale difference it is not that great and I presume the Messerschmitt will be stripped down, which will probably further hide any differences from the purists! Sounds like a great idea to me

Love the Bergerpanzer diorama: in my view 'off duty' scenes are usually better and more tasteful than blood and gore ones.
