Girls Und Panzer St Gloriana
1/16 scale T-34/85 with 1/16 scale figures on left. GuP diorama on right (1/35 tanks & 1/20 figures.)
Drama track 1/6 from the 5th Girls und Panzer Drama CD. Translation might not be exact.
St. Gloriana is going to be the next GuP diorama. This is going to be slightly smaller and simpler than the first GuP diorama you see up there.
The plan is a simple grass field with a slightly curved dirt road. A Churchill tank will be parked on the road with three girls having tea on and around the tank. I will be using 1/20 scale figures; they are all garage kits.
There was a GuP artwork that gave me an inspiration for this scene.
The size of the first GuP diorama I created was 40cm(16in) by 40cm. This time, it will be 40cm (16in) by 30cm (12in). I am using a wooden plaque.
I am going to stein & varnish it unlike the last time where I left the wooden base bare.

Since, unlike the last time, the surface is perfectly flat, I am simply creating a slightly curved dirt road with model paste. This takes 2 days to cure enough to be workable. While I let it cure, I work on the garage kits.
The tank was assembled and painted months ago since the tanks were the first kits I purchased for my GuP projects.

The figures are Maxfactory 1/20 scale Darjeeling kit, Poly-Toys 1/20 scale Rosehip and Pekoe. The latter two are recast kits from Taiwan. I would have gotten genuine kits if I could find them. Alas, no. I have yet to find a genuine Poly-Toy GuP kit.
While Maxfactory Darjeeling kit comes with colored parts, I will nevertheless airbrush her upperbody with my own dark red paint in order to match the color theme across the three girls.
Darjeeling and Pekoe will sit on the tank while Rosehip will stand. This fits Rosehip’s character as well since she is an overly energetic person.
Desu-WA!
And here you go. My second GuP diorama completed. This one was easier to make overall compared to the first one.
My next GuP diorama will be Pravda school with a possible addition of Anzio together on one scene. This one will be very … white due to snow.
