With this, and a 1:35 scale bicycle, I can finally build the diorama I have always wanted to build.

Are you really considering doing this in 1/35 in stead of 1/72? I also contemplated this when I built mine, but such a dio would take at least a 2 m x 1 m base. Unless you're planning to depict the moment it is tipping over, which could be even more spectacular.

I may have to dispense with the bicycle. 😉

But seriously, that's roughly the same size as the 1:35 scale A4 launch site I am currently building, so they can go on top of each other.

I have recently started my first 1:72 scale armour kit (a Mörser Karl on transport wagon), but it turns out I find the scale too small for the model to be interesting. I was surprised how small a Panzer IV Munitionsschlepper is in that scale. But these guys will be displayed along with a Leopold and a Dora (yet to be built), and that kind of ruled out 1:35...

P.S. Great work on that Kondensator!

Thanks. I only build 1/72 if there is a plane on the dio, but I thought maybe you wanted that Pacific wrecker and the other truck too on it. Should be manageable in small scale.

If this will be engineered like their Kondensator kit I'm building, I'd akmost be tempted to build a second one...
