AEF Renault FT diorama (1:72)

Hi all,

Recently finished my first diorama. It’s based off a WWI photo of 2 American Renault FT tanks advancing toward the front in the Argonne. The tanks are one of Wayne McCullough’s great designs and went together very well. The fit was a little tight in some places, but I suspect my paper was much too thick.

The rest are wire trees, dirt texture, and the usual Woodland Scenics static grass and foam products on a plaster base.

Thanks for looking,
Sergio

A fine diorama, and excellent work on Wayne's models. Thanks for including the historical image on which you based the diorama.

The diorama looks really fantastic. Models also look nice from the distance but honestly, two photos are definitely not enough. Take some more! I'd love to see some close-ups!

Thank you to everyone for your kind words.


I realized now that the photos were of low quality, so I put up better (and more) photos on imgur.

Ah, your magnificent work is much better appreciated here, the models are impeccable and the vegetation of the diorama is great.
