Keep thinking of doing similar but make them book ends for my mantle.

that would look nice; a soviet tank and german at gun on the eastern front book shelf, a sherman and a panther on the western front book shelf, dora on its own book shelf (or room).

i think it would really work good with a heavy base and 1/72 scale armor and planes. for me i don't have enough book shelf space as is with 80 normal size shelves full.

Howdy guys, i have a couple might fit in this catagory and having just returned from my week on the beach and i,de rather be surfing than building i guess ill have to settle for surfing the forums heh

thank you. it's called "A Snake in the Garden", a reference to the initial attacks by XXX corps during Market-Garden. may do a sherman on a small base and put it across the room so the 2 dioramas are linked.

i have a 50mm at gun with german crew in winter garb. will take your advice on the winter scene when i get to building that one.

towed guns. in the towed guns queue: 76.2mm at (captured),  20mm(4), 50mm at, another 75mm at, 30mm aa, another 30mm aa, k-5 rr gun (ok towed by steam locomotive which is also in queue)

Absolutely fantastic, gorgeous builds fellas!!  Unfortunately all I have is an Italeri Jagdpanzer IV still in the stash.

Wow what a great bunch of subjects.  Here is one more of the Marder III H from my other thread.  Greg

Not as good as the others here, but at least it shows I build something.

OK: Here's my Cromwell Models 8.8cm Flak 41 with superdetailed DML SdAnh 202 trailers:

A 1/48 Jagdpanzer L70A (Gasoline conversion with Tamiya Pz IVJ)

Finally, here's my DML Flak 36.  It's complete but it's to appear in a magazine so most pics aren't available:

And I've got a few others ongoing (Marder I, 12.8cm Krupp Pak 44, Stug III G) that fit into this category. 

My AFV sturmtiger, with Tamiya turned aluminum ammo.

And my Stug III G

I don't have much in the way of German stuff, but that's it so far, until my Hummel gets in (after three weeks from GM)
