                        Well this is neither really new nor old. The idea came from my old diorama which was accidentally (really?) knocked down by my 2 year old kid from the table last weekend. [:0] Some of you may have seen the old dio but I have to remodel it (or what's left of it) to salvage a good idea. Tongue [:P] It is not fully completed as I have yet to put it on a wooden base and the paint I think is not yet dry.

                        With some additional figures and stuff from the spares box...I give to you, DIORAMA NO. 4 Ausf. B Big Smile [:D]

                        I like it!!! it's perhaps the first non-combat war diorama I have seen yet!!!! Adds a little human side to the war... of course the pig might not agree haha...

                        Thanks for the reply guys. I actually believe that there are a lot of good diorama ideas that do not focus on the actual fighting. And I hope more modelers will do work on such ideas, too.

                        Nice work Dwight!!

                        For those who stated this was a non-combat diorama.... I'd say trying to catch a porker like that would be more combat than one would imagine! Yikes!!

                        Beautiful work, I like seeing "Spares Box Put-Togethers"! Wink [;)]
