What to do with a Bison?
Posted by Anonymous on Monday, December 20, 2004 11:34 PM
Hello Everyone,

I'm new to the forums so I thought I would start by getting some help. I built this Bison Sig33 Self-Propelled some time ago and would like to put it in a diorama. Most of the pics I see have them in Greece...But I want to do some thing different. I have a crew I can put in it and plan to weather it some more. Please look at the pics and give me your ideas thanks.




Disregard the stuff i did below, thanks to Ronusmc here are the pics.Black Eye [B)]

first off, Sign - Welcome [#welcome] to the forum!

second, that is on sweet build! I love the accesories on it!

for ideas, you could have the crew having a meal next to their tank with tamiyas German infantry at rest.


or if you wanted the crew in action you could use tamiyas artillery crew


maybe you could have the crew resting and talking.
the ideas are up to you and there are a lot more than tamiya figures.
good luck! Big Smile [:D]

Ok I refreshed the pics. I'm still learning but the url changed???
Thanks for the ideas. I kinda want to do something in the East Front, something with some action. Has anyone seen the Time Life Mag it has a Bison firing point blank into a 3 or 4 story building, very cool. But this would be a tough build. Of course France would be nice say 1940-41, if any were there?

Hi Skar,would love to see the details that were mentioned previously but still can`t see the pics.Maybe go to Photobucket.com and open a free account there to host the pics,they give you the posting urls and the colour of each shot is excellent. Check it out.
Oh and welcome to FSM.

I'd avoid the artillery set Rebelreenactor suggested. They are ancient and, while you get a lot of figures, the poses are weak. Look to some of the DML or Tristar sets.

Remember, if the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy.

Well sorry none of the pics are working. Gonna read the how to section again, but my profile has a link to the photo book where the pics are at. Anyway I have a Bison 2 coming and I think I'll put them both in a dio together. I like the East Front and the earlier the better. How about both Bison in a field with the crew hard at work giving direct infantry support. I think I'll call it "The Bison's of June"
Big Smile [:D] I like it.
Thanks Guys.

I see the pics fine now.
Anywhoo, its a very nice build. I think I'd like ot see it in a dug-in defensive position about to fire a round, with the crew clearing away.

An excellent build Skar,love this tank! I have to agree with Zokissima on this one,a defensive position would be best and base your dio around the tank.
