The diorama depicts the final days of the German campaign in Poland. Two German soldiers pass a holed Polish TKS. A 20mm shell in the front took out the crew and one track was also hit. The lead German soldier seems to indicate contempt for the small Polish tankette, gesturing as if to say, 'Polish armor, ha!'

I picked up a Polish TKS tankette at a club auction and meant to use it as spare parts or a quickie build one day. Who knew a week later it would be complete and the centerpiece of a diorama concept.
