Once I received my own Pumas from the Panzer Depot, I
knew that I needed to build a diorama. Nearly at the same time I got the first
German tank crew from German company, Preiser.
So my idea was to build a scene somewhere in France.
The Pumas would meet with their commander to get new orders. As a foundation, I
decided to go with a wooden picture frame from the big “I”.
The ground is a piece of Styrodur or better kwon in
the USA as blue foam. I shaped the terrain with several tools until I had the
feeling it would work. The meeting point was a kind of an intersection of two
small roads.
I pained everything with brown color, before I clued
the grass and the sand on it. For the road I went with some dirty powder I took
from a road not far where I live.
For the fence I took small toothpicks. All trees and
the green is made with stuff I had at hand.
