GB treasure HUNters searching a tank
« on: August 10, 2016, 07:02:23 AM »
Delivered yesterday, this will be my intended subject for the GB. I found a picture on the internet that will be the basic idea.
Now only need to find the right figures ...and a lot of time   :D

I agree, Giuseppe!  I'm going to enjoy following this one.  Those guys obviously never saw the movie, "Fury!".  A dead tank is not necessarily dead.
Cheers,

I agree with the above: very nice idea! And the kit really looks like a joy to build (from the box, I didn't start mine yet).
I am very keen on seeing your progress!
Masterbox offer some 1/35 WWI figures which are very nice. There's a set containing walking German prisoners with British guards. Two of them carry a wounded, but the third German looks quite similar to the guy on your photo:

Best wishes

Nice diorama Idea, i will follow this toppic with intrest.
Maybe the Kellerkind figure ( German Soldier with the brush in his hand) has a similar position like the german on the left side.

Neat idea for a diorama - it will be intersting to see how you will be doing the ground stuff.

That will be a test of your ingenuity - showing the damaged parts and the various background details - but it will be inspiring.
