Building a 1/35 DESERT Diorama for a Panzer I . 

*Little tank so little scenery and it's great! Definitively the reptile is a chameleon!!! 😊😋*

Wonderfully done! I do dioramas in the same style as this, one tank, a few figures and clean black sides. But all of mine are of quite big vehicles and with some large scenery details. This makes me want to make a really small and focused scene, perhaps a kettenkraftrad or something of that size. Great job and thanks for the inspiration

Smashing job James!

Amazing work mate..A true stunner.!👍

Nice result James. Rocks and Wadi came out great thanks to the multiple color variations. Love the little story here. 🦎

The little chap on his arm is a Chameleon.

Lovely work, and the use of a picture frame as a base is a genius idea!

Great scene.

this build is absolutely insane!

Great job with really nice detail! One suggestion would be some tank tracks in the mud for how the tank got into position. 👍

Everything is great as usual except it's not a gecko but a chameleon 🤣

James, that was a excellent build and the vignette turned out perfectly, well done, best regards from a Kiwi living in Australia.

Lovely scenery, tank fits the environment perfectly!

Love it! Saw it in the flesh at the NDMS the other night where it went down very well, brilliant work, love the detail touches. 😎😎😎😎

amazing job!

Looks really good!

Super job, James. A vignette doesn't need a lot of content yet yours tells an intriguing story with just a few items placed here and there in a barren landscape (apart from a wayward gecko). The final result is stunning!

Really enjoyed the scene you made here. The 3d printed elements are a excellent touch.

Love the Dio and the Paint job on the figure! And yeah I know the feel of looking at the close up camera footage after painting a figure! :D

Lovely diorama, mate, nice touch with the skull👍

Quite involved,well thought out Beautiful, lots of detail,really Enjoyed the personal touches!

One of your best. Awesome work as usual.

Nice little diorama! Outstanding detail and a, Excellent build!👌😉❤👌

Well done. Great scene. The rock formations were excellent and looked real.

Really great job mate. Looks very convincing of desert terrain. Cheers. 😊

Quality vid mate, really enjoyed that! Love the lo-fi, all the unique materials, and great techniques!

Nicely done. A wonderful little scene full of great tips, and very nice video production.

Cool tutorial.

Top work and a fantastic looking scene....love the cracked ground....KUTGW 👍

loved watching this matey

Looovely work James ! The history that you developed is so great!

Hi James, excellent dio of the desert 🏜 scene & panzer 1. As fans have pointed out, it is a chameleon, as my Dad put one on my arm similar to the figure. I was 10 years old, but I freaked out the minute is started to move up my arm. Love the chanel.

Absolutely beautiful work!! Just it`s not gecko, it`s chameleon :)))

Hi James, your vignette looks fantastic, mate. Well done. Cheers, Gary.

Great work on the diorama.

Thanks for sharing, always great to watch the videos.

Very cool

Great work James

Nice work, but your Gecko is actually a Chamelion. lol

Nice looking vignette

Great work James!

First video I’ve seen of yours, you definitely got a new sub today. Love the care you take for the smallest details and the great tips for airbrushing!

👏 great job

Looks great! Love the geko! Thanks for sharing. 😎🇨🇦

Just very Good and Original!

Super ❤ cool 😊

Hiya James, I loved the ground work, you reminded me to grab some DAS next time I'm out and about.oh and some cheap gloves, That Terracotta colour seems like it might stain everything.

Nice tutorial and video!

Very nice sir!

Great work! (That's a chameleon, not a gecko)

it's very lovely!!

Wonderful diorama James! The scenery came out beautifully and the character paint work was really good as well (and the tank of course already looked great). Interesting solution to the cracked earth not sticking. I'd imagine diluted wood glue might work (add dark brown paint and it doubles up as a wash?) or the Sand & Ballast Freeze, but I guess you tried this. You'll definitely find more relevant "gecko" references when you Google for "Common Chameleon", by the way! Seeing as chameleons take on the colour from their environment, I guess the guy found him amongst the aloe veras. Love the skull, by the way, that one looks very convincing. What 3D printer do you use? Great stuff James, keep 'em coming!

Wow.

You should be pleased, it's Outstanding work, sir! Ground, tank, rocks, even the Aloe Vera, yes, just yes 👍

👍

Where's james

Hi James, Tremendous stuff you got there, I learned a few new things, which is great, but I dont understand the 3D stuff. Do you buy these, or buy a file that you download yourself, and then somehow changes the item to 1:35, for then later print it out in your own expensive 3D printer?? Regards Anton

Cool vignette, but that's a chameleon not a gecko.

Hi James, Fantastic stuff dude! Love the final piece. Did you find any shrinkage or cracking with DAS?

Hallo James, kann den Skull leider nicht auf der Website downloaden, was mache ich falsch? Finde da kein Download Link. Deine Dioramen sind der Hammer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's a chameleon, not a gecko. You could've used that to show off your cammo skills!

Marks from tracks on the ground were missing.

Nice, Some great tips…. Is the figure a bigger scale than the tank? Also agree with others that it’s a chameleon, but given they can change colours then it’s hard to go wrong with the paint job on that! 😂

"pages and pages of German's point at things" 👁👄👁

Let me know your favourite detail of the Dio! Edit.. Also, I hope the thumbnail isn't tooo cheesy.

Gravel and Sand fixer could have solved your flaking issue....

I have a book with medical corps panzer II in the invasion of russia so medical corps had tanks.

Such a underrated youtuber the models and dioramas you make are INCREDIBLE!! Keep it up :)

Привет!) Очень хорошая, интересная работа! Немца на мой взгляд нужно было сделать более загорелым)

It's a chameleon not a gecko. Still an exceptional job.

Nice mate that looks awesome love the north Africa dioramas. Also smart idea with the way you anchored the tank to the ground.

I love how effective this is on such a tiny scale. Plus your small bursts of humour really make the video even more fun to watch 😁 easy subscribe for me as I'm not watching more of your videos now I've found your channel 👍

Stellar work! You should try some silicone plaster mixing bowls when making your basing compound. They make it really easy to mix, pour, and clean up afterwards with these things, and they are pretty cheap and come in all sizes.

Can I ask where the figure is from?
