panzerguy,

"Sew-prise", I love it, I told you a sewer pun would be perfect...

OK, you're kinda' tickin' me off here...man that's GOOD! Wish I could say I did it...dang-it!!!...You sure are a "master with plaster" I know how hard this kind of stuff is to do, especially the bricks protruding from the plaster...they look great! "Lace me up" with some info on how you did that. I want to do a bridge made of bricks in a future dio' and I know the pre-fab styrene sheet brick will suck...

Looks good so far, Steve. Looking forward to seeing it in person.

Remember, if the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy.

panzerguy,
The guy coming-up out of the sewer is a great idea! I'd make sure the focus of the viewer leads to him. I think the name has to be a pun on sewer filth...toilet humor...something like that. Is that arm of the Russian in the window holding the pistol from the figures in the old Tamiya T34/76 kit?, it looks familiar.

The guy leaning out the window is actually a german who's tring to pick off the russian that's tossing a grenade into the building.No,the arm is from a dragon kit and the hand is verlinden.Your right about the guy coming out of the sewer I want the viewer to pick up on him first,ask whats he pointing at...the german in the window,who's he getting ready to fire on...the guy that's about to throw the grenade in the window and who's he throwing the grenade at.Toilet humor hmmm might be on to something there I was thinking about making the second floor a bathroom.

Just thought I'd share some pic's of my latest dio. Still haven't come up with a title yet.Here's the scenario,a group of germans armed with a 2.8 anti tank gun and a mg34(to be added later) are preventing a russian motorized unit from advancing into a town somewere in Russia.A group of russian's have popped up out of the sewer's and while the german gunner is determined to get off one more round all hell is breaking loose around the building.Let me know what ya think and any help with a title would be cool too.Any qustion's just ask, I'll post more pics soon(I hope).
