Falaise Gap (?) Diorama

Posted by Anonymous on Friday, September 3, 2004 3:12 PM

The diorama I'm making might be based in the Falaise Gap with the crew of my armored car gone except for 1-2 people who stayed behind at the creek in it. (Due to my lack of skill at painting figures Disapprove [V]

) The paint scheme I want to do is different than the standard and it's meant for wooded areas. I couldn't find a map with forests on it (most maps I found were pictures of military maps with units and stuff). So I was wondering if anyone knew if any areas in the Falaise Gap were wooded enough for units to paint their vehicles camo meant for woods.
Thanks a bunch.

dont be too fast scer.....I was just over to France a couple a weeks ago went to the Normandy area. there were a LOT of fields there. I mean heavy agricultural center man.... then again, I suppose in the Falaise area there would be enuff foerst cover on the surrounding hills to warrant the camo....

BTW, I had plans for a dio like that, brits instead of crew members, and the vehicles knocked out, but still....u readin my mind ur somethin?
