Thanks Tigerman!
Well was at the club meeting last night, and discovered that I have a casulty. The guy carrying the MG on his shoulder and standing near the stug, somehow the leg rests for the mg broke off, and it looks like the mg is now floating in air. CURSES!!! So now I have to go back and fix that up.....GRRRR haha

Thanks very much for the compliments Dan, when I finished this one, for a few days I didn't want anything to do with plastic, or plaster for that matter! LOL But now I'm back in the groove, got my Jagpanther done and the first coat of paint on it, and started some light construction on the Firefly, I'm hoping this next piece isn't going to be as elaborate....hahaha

Great Dio ! Just wanted to say that type of house could be in holland or could have been especially further inland and also you have incorporated artistic licence good on you !!!
Why are so many modellers hell bent on everything having to be accurate to the last measurement of a belt buckle?!!
Keep up your good work !

Smokin' awesome, Kelly. I"m going to be tackling a dio soon. It's going to be a british manor or something of the like. I have some luxury cars from the '30s I want to display in it. Yours is great inspiration......Big Smile [:D]

I don't come in to the diorama forum very often but this thread made it worthwhile this time 'round. Super groovy guy! Nice stuff...

Thanks again guys, my sentiments exactly Bauer, I get an idea and I run with it....LOL Russ, I was lucky, I got the wheels backwards on the running gear for one side, I haven't attached them to the hull yet, just had to pry apart the wheels and reverse them.
Hey, I noticed there's no machine gun for the front of the hull, and none for the top of the turret...isn't there suppoesed to be some?

No,no mgs on a firefly,space was needed for ammo and the radio had to be stuffed into that extra large bustle.The turret mg was a hinderance as far as the Canadians were concerned,one vet told me they used to trade em to the Americans for stuff. I don`t know about the Brits though.
