Story filed:  I screwed up

Hi folks, Leo here. I'm just enjoying the last days of the school holidays and on a lazy Sunday evening, I was busy working away on a mini-diorama I hadn't finished and had been meaning to finish. The diorama consists of a 3D-printed American Sherman tank that could fit in the palm of your hand. I had the tank lying around for a bit before I eventually painted it and then I thought it would look really good in a mini-diorama. This story isn't about how I did a terrible job at making the diorama, in fact, I'd say I did a really good job. Firstly I built the ground matter which was a cobbled street half covered in dirt and craters since this was a WW2 diorama. It also had a street corner but I only got as far as making the base of the street corner. After that, it lived in a drawer for longer than I care to admit. So, for this school holiday, I pulled it out and started making the streetlamp and the 'ruined' building and I think it came out really well. I'm proud of my work. The only thing that I got wrong was the scale when I built the building. I made it too small so now the tank looks ginormous. On one hand, I have a sick diorama but on the other hand, I'm back to square one with the tank. I'll probably just build another diorama but this time, in the correct scale.

Until next time
