My Puma Dio is ready.

Puma figures
Now that all the other work is done, it's time to move on to the figures.
I have selected seven to convert. Only five figures will be placed on the diorama.

Here are the finished figures, or rather what I have made of them.Finally, I would like to show you the finished diorama. Unfortunately, I don't have a proper sign yet, so this is just a temporary solution. Many of you may not be familiar with the background to this story, so here is a brief explanation of the scene.

Sorry, about that. While editing the pictures, I realized that I hadn't taken any separate pictures of the figures. Unfortunately, the figures are already glued to the diorama. I took a few more pictures.

The Wehrmacht leadership set up so-called “alarm units” to seal off enemy breakthroughs. To this end, rear services were combed through to set up units. Cooks, cobblers, drivers, the lightly wounded, repairmen, tank crews, etc. were deployed.
The equipment and supplies were poor. Hardly anyone knew each other, let alone the unit leader. These units were extremely unpopular with the soldiers and were nicknamed “hero thieves.” My
three brave soldiers from the Puma crew escape through the side door with their civilian clothes and flee to freedom at home. The poor Puma commander has to explain to his superior officer why the Puma cannot be used.

Let's hope they made it.

A wonderfully gritty & realistic diorama. It tells such a compelling story.

Marvelous display. Good figure conversions. The scene composition conveys action and great emotion.

Very nice indeed and those conversions are very imaginative.

Excellent work.

I'm glad you liked my Puma Dio. I would also like to thank you for your kind comments.
Next project: PIII from S-Model. I won't be writing a report on this, but will just post a few final photos.

Great dio Jurgen, superb details and I like the pose of the escaping soldiers, they show well the acceleration at the beginning of the run !
