"Rue du Calvados" diorama (Tamiya Schwimmwagen 1:35 scale)

Post by HamilkarBarkas »

This is my latest little diorama and my entry for Russel Gosselin´s YouTube "D-Day" group build. It shows a German Schwimmwagen with foliage camo in a Normandy village or city. I may add a figure at a later point, but my first plan was to build this thing as a "still-life". If i can find a suiting figure i´ll add it later :)
The street and wall is from M35 productions, same with the dried plants i used for the foliage. The lamp and the posters are from MiniArt.

That is top notch work!
Excellent subject choice as well, as you said they too commonly shown in rivers a mud. This is much better.

Great built buddy!!!!

I think it's a good idea that you have not built anything from the Allies despite the topic!!! :bow::

Cheers guys :)

I already decided which figures i pick up, i just ordered them. Its none of the suggested ones though, i found them myself. They kinda tell a story, fit perfectly to the vehicle and i assume the quality of the figures themselfes is good too.
However, it was big fun to ask the audience on YouTube for suggestions, they came up with plenty of awesome stuff and if i had the money i would have bought most of those suggested figures anyway :) Maybe i do such audience questions more often, people seem to like it.
