    Gern's Cross of Iron GB

    At last! I managed to borrow my daughter's camera so I can start my GB!

    Nothing too spectacular 'cos I've not done a diorama before - a scratch built crane jib on a photograph frame doesn't count!

    I was looking through the 'net using just "Eastern front" as a topic and found this. It seemed nice and simple which I felt was right for me to start with.

    I've put the pics up but I won't be using a lot of the things shown. You'll also notice the collection of modelling essentials - twigs from the garden, wall filler from the DIY shop and baking powder from the kitchen.

    I'll try and do progress pics but it depends on when I can get a camera.

    PS Just noticed I forgot to get pics of one of the boxes! I'll try and get one later today.

    Nice one Dave - this is a really nice idea. And I do mean idea rather than putting together a kit - you have a particular scene in mind and all the elements make that scene. Excellent little dio in the making. Looking forward to your rendition of snow.

    Best of luck with the build.
    All the best

    Just a few more pictures - mainly to test my new camera!

    Another few classic modelling accessories!

    Graham, I took your advice about checking the camera reviews on the 'net. I had to buy from Argos to use up the credit voucher they gave me, so I started going through the cameras they have, starting with the cheapest, until I came to one with some acceptable reviews.

    I've ended up with the Pentax Optio E90 for £70 and I'm happy enough with the pictures I get.

    Thanks to everyone who offered help.

    Sorry Dave, just realised the telegraph pole probably came out of the cart kit!

    Yep! There's only that and the cart itself that I'll be using from the kit. I'm doing my own fencing and don't need a signpost or trough for water.
