Thanks very much guys,I like to concentrate on Canadian,British and American,lack of space dictates the amount of subjects one can do but have been known to dabble in an Axis dio now and again.Right now I`m kind of hung up on what the Allies did in Italy,the settings are fun to do.

The pice are three old b&w negatives from a box style camera. I haven't found someone able to make prints, yet. As soon as I do I will forward them to you. Thanks, again.

Hello BH, I`m not really too technical on the sizes of the trucks but I think it`s a no.11 cab (monkeyface) maybe a c60L size trooper/cargo with a steel box. I would definitely love to see your Redball picks including your Dad`s if you wouldn`t mind posting them or emailing them to me and thanks for the interest.

Nice diorama! What is the vehicle? Did they use it in France? I think it's the same truck I've got a picture of my dad standing in front of in France in WWII in a field full of gas cans. He was with the Red Ball express. Thanks for the pictures.

Thanks Zo,I`ll tell you my secret,well part of it is that I don`t work,I`m retired so therefore I don`t have to sleep if I don`t feel the need to,case in point I`ve been up since 2am thismorning (Sat.) and it is now 5:30 am working on my next dio.I have already completed since these two 2 new dios and a vignette.The other part of my secret is routine. PM me Zo,got something that I think you might be interested in.

I think it`s an old Tamiya Jeep and the figs are a mish-mash of old Italeri,Tamiya and maybe Dragon.

Very nice work, as always. Damn, I just don't know how you get such a nice result, and at such a quick rate.

unorganized organization is the canadian forces middle name.

Any thing can be fixed with enough gun tape and para cord

Very nice...very nice indeed.

I like the composition and the way you've pulled off that "disorganized organization" so common in military life.
