Battle of the Bulge-tank hunters kill Shermanby ~Super6-4

Artisan Crafts / Miniatures / Other

A diorama that I made a loooong time ago. I had repainted the Sherman a standard green color for Europe (originally was painted for North Africa), and then hacked away a hole with my model knife making it look like it got killed by an explosive. I "blew off" some of the track/wheel assemblies, glued on some shrubbery for camo, made it look snowy, and submerged it partly into the "snow" which is styrofoam.

For the Germans, I painted them in winter attire (although I was probably generous with the purpose built winter attire, as it wasn't exactly common for either side during the Bulge). There's two of them-one is trekking through the snow, and the other is keeping watch in their hideout, which is cut away into the "snow." I used small pieces of bark from my yard for a makeshift roof.

Hope you like it! I'll probably touch up some things sometime, as I did this diorama when I was quite a bit younger.
