  1. Wow, it looks really professional, Maarten.

  2. The composition of this diorama is exceptional. It looks dynamic and visually interesting at camera close up level and taken in at normal viewing distances (as in the first pic). That is rare in dioramas, in my opinion. The model is superbly finished and weathered. I also like the absence of figures in the trench, which heightens the tension while the tank crew are hunkered down in the turret. Very convincing simulation of snow, and excellent photo-studio image manipulation of the model to look like the real thing in period shots.

  3. That is just too cool (no pun intended!)! 😎 Excellent composition and so much drama in one diorama. That is such a convincing winter scene that I get cold just looking at it! The tank, by itself, is impressive scale modeling, but when placed into that setting, the entire scene is just fantastic. Man, that is fine stuff, Maarten @piet! 👏

  4. Really awesome result, Maarten!

  5. Great build and display, Maarten. Well, well done!
