far too much scratch - E10 Diorama

Salve!

 

Maybe someone has already ssen this. But anyway, 4 years ago I finished my 10 years old scratch built projekt of an E-10 and the scratch-building kept going the freaky way with the diorama.

 

The tank is scratch built with a little use of kit bashing and has a complete interior, scratch of course.

 

The freaky thing with the diorama is, that the leaves are printed on (60-80 g) transparent paper and scissored piece by piece. It took me severeal month to cut the at least 3000 leafs out and I don't think, that I will cut so much leaves again piece by piece, but the result looks too cool.

 

Here we go:

 

The interior:

The granades are from Tamiya, the floor is an etched "channeled sheet" from Aber.

 

 

The canon:

Grey parts are taken from Dragon's Hetzer.

Completed Interior:

Note the back side of the seat.

 

The roof:

The yellow resin part is a cast from Revells Jagdtiger. Its matches perfectly.

The scmall resin parts are casts from Dragon's Hetzer.

 

Details outside:

Again the yellow parts are casts. The wheels are casts from Revell's Jagdtiger. They shall show that it might be easier to use existing material instead of developing new wheels. The small supporting wheel is a taken from a late Panzer IV. The "turning wheel" is from Friul.

The Drahtgeflechtschürzen are taken from a flat sieve, which is used to cover the pot to prevent fat drops messing Your kitchen.

PE-Parts are taken from Abers late-Hetzer Set. The tracks are from an Dragon Panzer IV track-set.

The Notek-Scheinwerfer is a Tamiya part.

Diorama

Acer platanoides (left) and Acer pseudoplatanus (right). in summary around 3000 leaves and around 50000 times shnipshnap with

the scissor.... It took me 3 months. In that time I watched 200 episodes of a broadcast where a german astrophysic-professor explains the universe very cleary.
