EJB Scale Art

Well here it is, the final upload!

It has been a long road but here we are, finished, photographed & uploaded!

This is by far the fastest Diorama I have ever built, from foam & plastic to a finished piece in 3 months! Yes, granted, its not my finest work, but, certainly one I am proud of given the timeline.

A good chunk learnt along the way too, thatching using hemp takes an age, finding the right length static grass certainly helps and ALWAYS clean your airbrush.

Now a small summery of the Diorama :
The tank itself is the Tamiya 1:35 scale Tiger 1, early addition. There is a few upgrades on the kit including an eduard photo-etch kit, resin barrel, resin brackets & resin workable tracks all drawn and printed by myself.
A set of figures & ammo boxes were also added, these files were bought from cults 3D and resin printed again by myself.
Main paintwork on the tank was painted using Tamiya acrylics through the Gaahleri Mobius 3.0. All details were done using vallejo and brush painted.

The base is foam coated in all purpose filler, a layer of AK dark earth on top and static grass to finish it off. All painted using Tamiya acrylics, again using the Gaahleri Mobius and a mega load of Mig pigments added to finish off the effect.

The building is again foam & filler coated, roof is constructed with balsa & hemp, windows & door brackets are 3D printed with acetate glass. The window shutters and doors are again balsa.

Finally the rubble, there are 3D printed chairs, a balsa wood table, balsa wood beams and stone/render is painted filler.
A stove and benches were also added, but once all shut in, not all that visible!

Thank you all for following the project and thank you Gaahleri for putting on such a great competition!

Good luck to all my fellow modellers out there, some really amazing builds on show! Till next time farewell, & happy modelling everybody!
