Hell of a build and I guess 'Last Tank Ever"...but it is what I had in mind after the 1/72 version.

Thanks Jerry, but what about the way I handled the concept, so "the build" itself

Of course the build was very well done. Is that what you meant?

I really like the concept and it looks great overall. One small issue though, the barrel is upside down. The bore evacuator should be offset to the top, not the bottom.

I believe this is the figure he used. Royal Model Tiananman Tank Man (#823).

A higher form of diorama with literally layers of meaning - the hard edge of the debris immediately reminded me of the eye-witness accounts of bulldozers being sent into the square & they weren’t just piling up rubble. Superb & hope you continue to develop this kind of concept, bravo Hans

Thanks Tim, as long as the ideas keep popping up I will continue to make "different" diorama's.
