"St. Mihiel October 1918" -- Meng Ft-17, ICM Tankgewehr 1:35
« on: April 06, 2018, 08:31:37 AM »
Hello,

I have forgotten to show this one earlier. It's quite calm around the diorama section here, which is a pity I think. From time to time I try to add a small contribution. This is the Meng Renault tank, a wonderful kit that went together without any problems. I added a chain, some figures (conversions of Mini Art and Dragon figures, equipped with ICM US equippment) and an ICM Tankgewehr with some additional items. Not my best dio to date, but it's my second tank overall, so please don't be too critical.




Best regards

Very nice work indeed! Excellent modelling and nice composition. I have plans to do a dio of a St Chamond with the Americans at Chateau Thierry in 1918.

Your work tells the story in much the way of that Master of the Diorama, Shep Paine

Lovely vignette, the tank looks fine and the figures give great movement to the scene.
Ciao
