Over the next month I will be building a small diorama and posting photos of the work in progress along the way.
This diorama will feature the Tamiya Sd.Kfz 251/1 Ausf. C, an older kit that I am planning to build out of the box as much as possible with only minor scratchbuilding. I will also be using the arab on a donkey figure from the new Masterbox “AfrikaKorp : German Tankmen”. The Tamiya figures in the 251 kit won’t be used, nor will the DAK tank crew from the Masterbox kit.
The diorama will depict a long abandoned Afrika Kops Sd.Kfz 251 that has been left to be reclaimed by the desert after being lost in an earlier battle. The figure on the donkey will be off to one edge portraying a passing nomad looking over the half consumed wreck. Half consumed as I plan to display the vehicle as being slowly consumed by a sanddrift over time.
So check in from time to time to see how this progresses.

It should be a cracker when finished make sure you show

Don’t worry, I’ll be taking it right through to the end, which reminds me I must get the next set of photos up over the weekend.
