France 1940 diorama update (New photos added)

Le farmer looks how I feel.

lol omg, I was thinking the exact same thing, he looks like how I feel.

Imagine how I felt when I was painting him!

Here are a few more updates.

I added a rain barrel, the confused mechanic on the Char (That's a wrench in his btw, not a cel phone), the Kublewagen driver got a new head as well as a rifle by his side. The peeing soldier has a rifle now too and the winch structure has been painted although it's still not secured to the base.

To call it finished, there are still four card playing soldiers to be added, the soldier that will be painting the tank and a couple more bringing him tools, supplies and helping. Seven more figures! Also yet to be added are the air compressor, paint mops, small barrel of paint and a bunch of other tools and extras.

Am I ever going to finish this thing?

More advances. See what you think.

Wow. Cool work. I love the Char B. Groundwork is very realistic too.

Congradulations on a job well done!

I really like what I see, and think you did an amazing job on your 1st Dio

All the tools, and detail item unde/ near the shed really make the scene--it's hard to get that kind of miscellania to look convincing and you have. It's really neat seeing the paint going on--you get an idea of the Bis in two different color schemes, which is very rare. The crewman up top does look a bit like he's on the phoneto our modern-day eye, but we know better. A fun project--please consider it a success!

Thank you gentlemen!

There are still seven figures to go and a bunch of tools as well. After all that, I'll still need to to apply dusts and shades to pull the whole thing together.

Another three or four weeks and I should be calling this one finished... I hope!

the German soldier that is taking a leek, why does he have a U.S. M1 Garand belt on?

I believe he is grabbing a Vienna Sausage, not an onion (leek).

Good eye Airborne!

I couldn't sand it off! It is of course an American soldier figure painted in German Grey. Due to the date being represents in the dio, I can't even say he captured it.

the finished dio looks great, and I do believe that Verlinden has German soldiers taking a "leek" as well as the American soldiers.

Thanks! Glad you're liking the dio so far. I still have a ways to go before it's finished though... seven more figures, some tools and finally dustings and general detail work  to bring it all together.

I'd never seen the German soldiers "bathroom" figures but I'll look for them next time I place an order to the USA. 

Love it
