This scene depicts a German Sd.Kfz. 247 scout car which has been abandoned by its crew. A unit of Polish Uhlan cavalry has happened upon the vehicle and has stopped to inspect it. Mechanical breakdown or fuel exhaustion is common, or perhaps the crew has simply dismounted and is nearby, waiting for the Poles to pass. I wanted the vehicle to appear disheveled but not damaged, so I posed the doors and visor open and placed various pieces of stowage and debris in the interior. The vehicle and cavalry are both from Polish manufacturer "First to Fight" and are in 1/72 scale.

Very nice – you got the "disheveled but not damaged" spot on – great work and thanks for sharing

My favorite dioramas always have an obvious narrative element. Great stuff.
