1/48 Afrika Korps Diorama

Post by LeoDahlin »

Hello everyone! :hi:
This will be my first attempt at a diorama. And painting figures!
This is also the first build I put up on ISM.

Here is a link to all the pictures:

So, about a week ago I found an old Tamiya 1/48 Panzer III (And something else but I don't remember what version of the Pz3 it was)
I think it's decent for a beginner level kit (I must have been around 9-10 years old when I built it) so I decided to make a diorama for it!

For the tank diorama I bought this 1/48 Afrika Korps Figures kit!
It comes with 8 figures, a tent and a bunch of accessories.
I didn't have much time to work on the figures today but I still managed to get one (and a half) glued together!
You have to glue everything onto the figures (Gasmask canisters, Ammo pouches, equipment)


I will update this thread when something has happend. :D

Nice! Many parts of norhern africa arent sand desert but stone. There is alot of space with no eyecandy. Maby take some roots and make some bushes or something like that, to have a focus and brake up the diorama. Well done!!!
