What setting can this go in?

[Alan 45]

this is my latest project the tamiya 1/35 sturmpanzer kfz 166 it's not quite finished due to what to do with it as the muck around the tracks has got to fit the scene, Ive done a late version as I wasn't going to spend money on extras like zimmeritt so it can be anything from Normandy to the Ruhr pocket


So it's a country scene or a a town scene but I can't decide country is easier but town has an attraction


So I thought I'd throw it over to you good folks View attachment 106967

I've still got some bits to put on like a couple of logs and helmets but that again will be decided by the setting

Hi there as you have already got the paintwork in order it would be nice to see this tank in an Italian diorama ( Anzio ) you could have a semi countryside affair possibly village outskirts with tank in derelict building giving fire support. Research showed the sturmpanzer was used in this theatre also on the assault at Kursk Russia but the units kept the sturmpanzer in Italy till the end of 1945 when the retreating Germans destroyed the tanks so not to let the advancing allies take them as prizes. Hope to see this soon

I never thought about Italy that would be a different one cheers Robert

Italy is a cool idea, otherwise I have one word....Bocage.


Whatever you do the model has to remain the focus, it looks really good.


Cheers

Cheers Steve Italy or the hedgerow war I have just found some figures to suit both

 

[Polux]

Maybe over a bridge...?


I like the dioramas with high levels/altitudes....


Anyway, I'm agree with Steve. The model has to remain the focus. It's a fantastic build Alan!!


In fact....if you allow me to comment, your builds (and photos as well) are going better and better!! I love them

Firstly, that looks superb Al, I love the weathering. Secondly, Italy does sound a superb setting for this beasty.


Si

I like the demolished building street scene idea and your tank looks awesome

 

[Alan 45]

Cheers guys I'm pleased this has turned out well I was worried about all the dings and whether they would look right but I think they've worked well


I'm leaning to either Italy or Germany both in ruined town

 

[eddiesolo]

ITALY! DO IT BOY!

 

[PaulTRose]

very nice, look forward to seeing it in its setting whatever it may be

I would go Italian as well. Lots of scope there.


A great build of the Stormer as well.
