Diorama very impressive. I continue to put tank on chopping board.
I simply underline you to remember that old factory is very dark and dust, window was probably cover to prevent night light and glass splinters in case of bombing
My God this is a Masterwork in progress.

Every update makes it better. The details are going to be the key thing with this. A workshop has so much going on, there is always about a million things left laying about ready to be used or in use … Once its finished, this will take about a month to look over to make sure you find all the hidden details … great work …
I was thinking, is this showing a Hetzer factory, or a general tank repair factory/ maintenance unit ? if it was the later, you could have a few different tanks in for repair etc ?

This will be a Hetzer factory. I am waiting for two Hetzer tanks from Takom which will have complete interiors. I already purchased them but those won’t be available until August. I still have a lot to go. I have another piece of machinery, numerous hand tools and details to place. I have some figures on order but those will be done last.

Did you also make the engine lift?
The machinery are from various kits

It’s a fantastic setpiece… except for one tiny detail that isn’t explained. The Germans are invading from 1943, according to the bits at the end of the video, but it appears that they’re invading into 1960 or later, because that’s a 50-star US flag, which means that it’s after both Hawaii and Alaska have become states… Seventeen or more years of technological advances is going to make for some ugly surprises.

Maybe you can put it in the comments of the YT video? As Glenn stated earlier: it is not his work…

I went back after entering my comment above and used the YouTube link, and found that someone had made the same comment, so I upvoted that. They also noted that plastic sheeting for masking the windows wouldn’t have been in use until the 1970s, and the farmer would have used a tarp with a corner stuck in between the window frame and the upper panel to mask each of the windows.

I may offend some people but to all those viewing and commenting on Cheyenne’s video please start your own post. I did not post this thread so others could comment on someone else’s project. Thank you.
