Crossing my fingers you'll get the photo thing straightened out. I'd love to see your work.

Thank you. Found some more pics of this dio. Herpa Sturm, Trident Berge converted W/flakv from unknown source, open Famo is AlsaCast, closed is Wespe Models, & figs are Preiser. All vehicles have added details except Strumtiger. Closed Famo crew is preparing for tow assisting open Famo while Berge is fulcrum & overwatch for disabled Sturm pull upslope.

C&Cs encouraged. PaulE

Thanks for the additional photos- that's really nice work! I've done a few dios but never had the guts to tackle anything so elaborate!
