HI J-Hulk,

Light dawns! Companies seem to cash in on each other's initiatives, so as soon as somebody produced a T-34-Tiger, a figure company would, of course, produce complimentary items. I'm only surprised it wasn't Andrea, their not-quite-licensed movie figures are brilliant.

So, Kelly, Big Joe and Oddball are out there somewhere... That puts a whole new complexion on the project! I foresee the 'gunfight scene' enacted under glass in my display case one day in the not too distant future!

I love the signature line I've seen here lately, 'so many models to build, so little time.' That sums up my hobby at the moment, I'm building more than I have for years and the projects are stretching out before me. GRIN -- if I have to die, it's the only way I wanna go!

Hi guys,

Either you're reading my mind, or great minds think alike... I've wanted to build that diorama for years! The problem is, I haven't a clue how to modify figures. Here's a question -- would you use a historically accurate Tiger, or the T-34-based vehicle used in the film? There's a company making a Tiger with T-34 running gear, not sure who they are but their add appeared many ties in FSM.

Cheers,

Wirraway,

One of the members of the Aberdeen Modellers Society has recently completed that very diorama!  The building with the gold covered in a tarpaulin, the three figures and the tank - it looks fabulous.  I don't think there are any photographs of it to link to, but he may be taking it to our Society's display at the Scottish Nationals in Perth at the end of April.  If there are any photos taken of it, I'll try and suggest to him that he posts a link here for you.
