Michael Epstein
Prairie Village, Kansas
Michael made this 1/35 scale diorama using Squadron’s base, a Cyber-hobby Bego Type 82 Kübelwagen, Tamiya Type 166 Schwimwagen with figures, and a Tamiya Panzerkampfwagen V with Panzer Division Recon Team. The finished scene includes nine figures, snow from Woodland Scenics, and well-researched patterns on the uniforms. Michael’s diorama started as a one-model build, but once he saw the base, he knew he had to use it for something special. The Kübelwagen sports Panzer Art wheels with snow chains, perfect for the weather conditions.
