Not a professional by no means but i`m happy , finishing up another with a British mark four tank and will add it later.

Interesting hobby making dioramas, you can make them covering all historical periods..... Cool beans Lenn....

Thanks John, the color is way off on the big tank so i ordered some olive drab for it.
I`m looking forward to getting the mark four British tank should be here tomorrow they are cool but i wouldn`t want to be in one, they had a eight man crew in a tin can.

I love the Frey Bentos logo I bet a few Tommies thought it looked like a bully beef can....

The Germans didn't think it very funny though...

Thanks John, i`d like to have a bigger model but can`t find any and would be spendy.
This one and the Sherman are diecast though just to small.

Really Cool stuff Pitchy, Thank You.

Pitchy · Post by **Pitchy** » Fri Feb 04, 2022 4:17 pm

Thanks 45Colt, John the Corgi`s are dicast also the Sherman is the same.

Pitchy · Post by **Pitchy** » Fri Feb 04, 2022 4:36 pm

The Corgi`s are small.

Put some Olive drab paint on this tank i think it looks better.

gamekeeper · Post by **gamekeeper** » Sat Feb 05, 2022 3:46 am

It does look better Lenn, I've seen dioramas where they have painted mud on too.

They get way to much money for all this stuff for me and why i made the cheap version.

Those early tankers were a special lot, eh?

Thanks Bill yep that tank is the coolest IMO.

Can opener. Dangerous to be in a tank. Dangerous to be outside.

Just watched a movie where a guy was in a hole and waited for a tank to roll over and he shot one of those into the bottom, think it was called Saints and soldiers--the void.

Pitchy, that is fine work, and important! Makes me think of a signature? "Before We Forget"

Those WW1 Tanks are fascinating, new experimental technology primitive by today's standards but awesome at the time.

Cool videos too...

piller · Post by **piller** » Sat Feb 05, 2022 9:28 am

We absolutely need to remember. What and why, and the men who served in combat. Those dioramas are great Lenn.

Pitchy · Post by **Pitchy** » Sat Feb 05, 2022 9:37 am

Thanks gents, i have a pair of tanks coming we`ll see how they look.

Pitchy · Post by **Pitchy** » Sun Feb 06, 2022 12:08 pm

Made a separate base for the Mark four, have another tank coming to replace it on the other scene.

gamekeeper · Post by **gamekeeper** » Sun Feb 06, 2022 12:20 pm

That looks great Lenn a case of less is more...

Pitchy · Post by **Pitchy** » Sun Feb 06, 2022 12:42 pm

Thanks John, don`t know if i`m very good at this but we try.

Pitchy · Post by **Pitchy** » Tue Feb 08, 2022 11:58 am

Got the new American tank for this scene ,looks better.
Of coarse i had to buy a remote control tank, should be here tomorrow so stay tuned for a video.

Pitchy · Post by **Pitchy** » Wed Feb 09, 2022 5:27 pm

Got the RC tank a German Tiger, it`s a gaming tank has life light s on the back it shoots a beam at the enemy and if ya get hit it takes life until it won`t move or shoot.
Of coarse ya need two tanks for that, it has a machine gun sound to which i didn`t get in the video.
