Ian, outstanding dio! So much detail everywhere, I can spend so much time looking at it. Story tells it all: One fubar'd tank in for repair. Great stuff!

Outstanding piece of work Ian. Amazing amount of great details.
I love the rough texture in the whitewash. How did you achieve this?
Thanks for sharing.

This really is a fantastic diorama. I have read a lot about Stalingrad and this diorama fits in with the images. It even looks cold. Tells a story with incredible detail. Congratulations.

Hi Ian,
Absolutely first rate, I think you have captured the scene perfectly, it just makes one want to shiver. Bleak and cold, brilliant work one of the best winter dios I've seen in a long time.
Thanks for sharing.

Outstanding, Ian. Splendid work. I could spend a couple of hours just staring at this dio.
You can almost hear the soldier's teeth chattering from the cold. Nice work on the hull, great attention to detail and the weathering is one of the best I have seen in many moons.
Always a pleasure to view your workmanship.

Ian ,
Hats off to you , this is a fine example of the Modellers craft beautifully executed. Your diorama reminds me of a section in Antony Beevor’s book "Stalingrad" where the Russians advancing during operation Uranus came across what appeared to be a "town" on the Steppe out side Stalingrad. It was not marked on any map. It transpired the "town" they saw was a junk yard of deserted and frozen vehicles of all descriptions abandoned by the Sixth Army.
Lovely work thanks for posting the pictures. I will do all my modelling from the top of a step ladder , since the Bar keeps getting raised!

Thank you all for the great response to my diorama. I am glad you have enjoyed the detail.Jesper,
whitewash is achieved through multi -layering with maskol and hand painting as described in the write-up. Just make sure that you apply a good dark basecoat first ,then slowly detail each layer with a varying shade of the whitewash, going lighter as you get to the top.
Mig,
thanks, much appreciated.
love the pigments, fantastic product.

Jerry,
thank you. I have read Bevors book on Stalingrad, as well as the Berlin one and found them very inspirational so maybe that had an effect
very good read- i couldn't put either one down.

Hi Ian,
Great work on this dio! I do have one question for you. Can the tank's interior be viewed?

Sean,
the interior can be viewed through the open hatch's. The only photo's I have are the ones included in the feature set.
Actually, on that point I accidentally sent in a photo that was not from this tank. The shot is the one of the rear exhaust underside, that shows the towbar and the wire cover under the rear plate. Row 3, last on the right. This is from my late model Stug 3 I have in progress - details definately don't match a 3J - sorry about that.
