Chaos, destruction, death.  Law of life.  Inexorable natural laws. Order, civilization, progress. Absurd human utopias. Chaos is the state of maximum equilibrium. Leviathan, Fenrir, Kali, The Four Horsemen, always waiting their time. And it always comes.  Man creates and destroys. Order and chaos. The natural versus the human. Human nature.

Caos, destrucción, muerte. Ley de vida. Inexorables leyes naturales. Orden, civilización, progreso. Absurdas utopías humanas. El caos es el estado de máximo equilibrio. Leviatán, Fenrir, Kali, Los cuatro jinetes, siempre esperando su momento. Y siempre llega. El hombre crea y destruye.  Orden y caos. Lo humano contra lo natural. Naturaleza humana.

Kazuya san  is one of the most talented diorama modellers in the world, no doubt. He masters the vehicles, figures and nature to recreate impressive scenes with an amazing attention to detail. But beyond the incredible technical skills, he also uses the colours and composition to get an immersive atmosphere that captures the viewer´s attention  at the first sight.
This diorama is the best example of Kazuya´s work. Incredible figures, amazing tanks, wonderful composition and the crude atmosphere of a sorrowful and bitter spring awakening.
If you want to discover Kazuya Yoshioka´s secrets don´t miss his book "The diorama perfection" with an extensive step by step of this diorama.

Q

Ok, the thing is 99% finished. It looks quite weird but you already knew that. Didn´t you?

The work in the tank is almost finished. There is only some local effects to add like some black stain in the exhaust zone and some darker streaks here and there. It´s time to finish the base:


Weathering some elements of the base. These bigger elements need special attention:

I have decided to paint the tank before completing the base. The 4BO Russian green is painted with the modulation set by AK. I didn´t need a full modulation this time so I only used three shades of the set to get a cenithal effect.

The remains of white paint is made with the hairspray technique. After the chipping with dark brown is time for a black wash to enhance the panel lines and raised elements.

Q

Some pictures of the early composition. Still a lot of elements to add:



Everything is painted with acrylics. The grey blocks got some acrylic washes with brown and grey (Chipping color and Russian 4BO shadow from AK):

Time for some extra bricks for adding complexity to the debris. The thing begin to look better:

Q

This is a Panther  Ausf. G early production, a nice kit from Dragon. Assembled almost from the box, I only added the metallic towing wires (and the field camouflage). I applied a soft modulation on the base paint, a medium weathering and a lot of splashes. The idea was to place it in a diorama next to a wet road with other vehicles passing by. A project too huge for such a lazy modeller...
Maybe someday.
