Thanks Fabio, I would've liked to add some more goodies, but if I did that, the bloody thing would never be done! LOL
Just trying to get a piece done for our contest on Sept 10, but I'm coming to the realisation that it ain't gonna happen, I'll have time to get one teeny vignette done though, but no big dio! haha

Well done!...and yes the figures are positioned to really make it work. Good job on capturing their desert-bronzed skin tones...details, details.

Thanks everyone! The Quad was originally going to be a part of my Firefly/Broken down Jagpanther dio, but the space was limited and I decided to drop it from that Dio. Russ and Bugsy suggested doing a captured version of this and put it into a desert scene.

Amazing job. Definitely something a little different, with the captured Quad.

Excellent dio. The weathering is fantastic. I like the use of the captured vehicle for Afrika Korps service. This dio is well put together.

HI All,
Been a bit since my last dio, so here it is. No huge city ruins here, (But I couldn't escape some rubble) Big Smile [:D]

Tamiya's Quad Gun Tractor captured and in German service backing an anit aircraft gun into ground level firing position inside a fort ruin. The building is scratchbuilt from plaster, and the walkways are pieces of bamboo blinds. Figures are from Tristar, and these figures are spectacular in detail! Two colours of tile grout used for the groundwork. Enjoy...
