The Stand

Nice little scene Russ, glad you could really make use of that fruit stand, well done!

Pedro

Very nicely done!!!

I really like seeing these "non-combat" dioramas as a change of pace...

Great job!

Russ;

Nice looking diorama as always. I am curious about the vehicle it looks as though you combined the rear cargo box of a 15 CWT with the Tamiya LRDG kit? Or did you just shorten the wheel base of the LRDG kit?

Many thanks for the comments guys,yes it is a 15cwt box mated to a Chev LRDG front end,wanted to produce a lesser runabout type vehicle in a 4x2 that the Allies took overseas,would have perfered a Standard or a Morris Tilly here but ya gotta make do with what ya got. As for the rest of the convoy,the good folks are wavin and lookin at the vehicles that have already gone by.

Thanks again guys.

a very nice build as always!

Nice look Sasd

Russ;

I just realized (should say I hope I'm right) that the one figure is a converted German soldier that comes with one of the early releases for Italeri. The figure with hand on the hip and other down by his side. Great conversion of what really wasn't a great figure to begin with. I prefer to use figures that aren't all that well sculpted for conversion to civilians.

Cheers;

Thanks very much for the info AJ,man,does that bring back the memories,those German leather short pants,I think every German kid had a pair!

I know what you mean Zo,it`s cool and I`m looking forward with great interest to your next dio!

Thanks Von,hope your all moved in cause ya gotta get your model building going!

Right now I`m working on a scene from a photo of a Canadian Stuart Recce tank in Italy negotiating a roadway in whats left of a small township.

cant wait to see that dio!

Sasd

Great dio & love the figures, just wanted to know where you got the fruit, veg & the bottles?. As i said great work cant wait to see some more.

Hi guys,thanks for the comments,the Stuart recce dio is done as is the Loyds carrier with a 6pdr vignette but don`t have picks of these yet,waiting to finish my Hybrid Firefly dio and recouperating from a recent display.

Yoda,the bottles are from the Tamiya Churchill kit and the fruit stand is from a company called Lemax. They make Christmas Village stuff,buildings,fences,streetlamps,trees etc.
