Pillbox with Panther. They,ll be back
Posted by Bodge on Saturday, January 19, 2008 12:45 PM

This is a dio that i done some years ago now. I have used a lot of natural thing on the landscape, ie:- Moss ,sand, dirt from the garden and small roots.There are some large rocks in the foreground which are actually fragments of concrete that i chipped off of a German bunker when me and my familly went to Denmark,there were loads of them along the coastline.Ialso found and brought back an 88 shell casing which was just led next to a bunker(crazy).Back to the dio,i have taken this to two shows and won Gold for Dio,s at both.It was the first model that i had showed and was responsible for me taking the hobby up again after years of neglect,Cheers,Andy

 Do the authorities not frown on people "chipping" off pieces of the local war relics?
 Very nice looking Dio. Lots of good foliage.

Breathtaking! Absolutely...........! Great photos!

 But I do wonder (not being a dio builder)......why are so many figs.....static......not leaning on something....standing close, talking

Love the outdoor blend though

I'm learning something, and getting more ideas, with each one of these you've posted.  Keep up the good work, and thanks for sharing your pictures.
