This was my entry into the youtube Battle of Kursk GB Operation Zitadelle groupbuild of 2014.
It shows a group of Soviet infantry dismounting a KV-1s Ehkranami (add on armour) and charging up a rail embankment, while a T-70M scout tank and commander shout orders from the top of the berm.
This is set just south and east of Prokhorovka in July of 1943. It was pretty much the furthest point of the advance for the German army during the offensive and was one of the most insane tank battles in history.
I wanted to do so much more but the GB was only 2 months long (the length of the historical battle) and that curtailed the elaborate plans that I would have hatched. I had to use figures that were built by me ages ago and stripped of their paint. They aren't the best at all and I'll be replacing them one at a time over the next while.
As for the rest of the diorama I'm pretty pleased with it, I tried a few new things and learned a few new ones. So that makes it a success in my books, even when it looks a bit crappy haha.
There's a build log on youtube in by channel if you're interested. It's in the playlists as "The Battle of Kursk GB"

I couldnt say it better then the other guys ....this is one great dio....it takes alot of skill to make a dio this large and keep it from looking crowded and busy.....i really think you captured the way the soviets attacked the germans with mass infantry rushes and the tanks as support....every detail is just rite..great job
