                        yes yes, Great Stuff indeed.

                        I have a question though. I want to do one of the Academy M10's. There's one listed as M10, and another as M10 "Duck Bill" What's the difference, and which one's better? A friend in the local hobby club said that he had some fit problems when doing an Academy M10, but I don't know which one. Any thoughts

                        Again great builds, very well weathered. I hope mine turns out half as attractive.

                        I don't know much about the kits, but I think that the Duckbill got it's name from the counterweight on the back of the turret. I'm sure somebody will show up soon to either confirm, or set us both right.
                        And I agree, that's some great work!

                        As far as I`m aware of there`s only one m10 and it`s duck-billed because of the turret counterweight halves. There were m10a1s built on the m4a3 chassis and were retained in America as trainers.M10s were sent to England where they were called
                        Wolverines later to be upgunned to the 17pdr and called Achilles.M35 is a turretless m10 and used mainly as a Prime Mover.
                        Didn`t have any fit problems with the Achilles,ohhh,bet they`re calling the Achilles an M10 and the original m10 "duckbilled"! Confusing isn`t it,lol!

                        sasd,

                        Wonderful work. Simply great. This is not the obligatory "Nice Job" post. Really top notch work. Visually stunning.

                        I have about 300 questions on you diorama stuff. I will keep it to 1. In the second pic, there is an awesome rock wall. Is this a kit or is it scratchbuilt. Either way, please let me know how you did it. I have tried and failed many times.

                        Thanks for sharing your work.

                        Ted

                        Thanks guys,glad you liked them. Ted,check out your local Micheals craft store for Lemax Christmas Village stuff,you`ll be amazed at what you can find in amongst that stuff! I believe they also have a website although I`ve never been there. I use their rockwall kits,trees(birch,evergreen),wells,roadpatterns,various other walls,lamposts
                        and bridges.I will be posting a few British in action dios in the near future and one has
                        the Red Devils charging across a Lemax footbridge. Check it out,this stuff is excellent!
