Tamiya 1/35 Mark.IV Tank and British and German Inf WWI Dio

Post by rodrant »

So here is the final reveal , you may find the Building Thread here:

http://intscalemodeller.com/viewtopic.php?f=285&t=8085

I decided to make a scene during the Battle of Cambrai in 1917 ...it wasn't the first time that tamks were used , but it ws the first time that they were used massivaly , more than 300 British tank break the German Lines only to one or two days latter to be all the same way ...however nothing was the same since then , the use of the tanks in supporting Infantry was seen a success , even that this tanks have very often mechanic failures , in some zones of the front also the use of Anti-tank speasialized units with anti-tanks guns also prove that they weren't unstoppable ...well history then show us that the tanks were used from now on in all Major Battles until our Days , this was the beggining ...

The Assault German Infantry defending the trenches ...well they are in a counter attack ( and also they were the only WWI German avaiable so ...)

About the Hyacinth ...well Hyacinth faith in the first day of the Battle was this :

Ditched in a trench ....maybe it was this trench I deppict in my Diorama

Here are the Photos, I liked a lot the final result :th: , it was hard work but it was worthy , again learn a lot in this build , still must master better some of the techniques .Well here it is , hope that you like , again too much photos :lol:

The British are attacking ...

The Big Beast will rip off the Barbed Wire so that the Infantry will go easy trough it

Getting the defense ready ...

No match to defeat the tank with Mauser ...Nice colurfull Helmet though

Image

Already somebody give up the MG , too much fire coming from that tank

Image

Image

Some new troops are getting to help in front of the battle

Image

The German Officer keeps motivating his comrades

Ready to throw some Potato mashers on the advancing British ...
