Nice job on these Paul...is that a bench vise mounted on the front bumper of 1st platoon's half track?

Beautiful

Thought that was well Rick .

 

[Jakko]

I like that you don’t have all the figures exactly the same in each vehicle, it makes them much more believable

Thanks Guys.
Yes it is a vise, slightly out of scale, but added on a whim.
A tough one Jakko, as there were only so many poses available, and there are twenty eight tracks & three M7s to populate.

Great stuff Paul

 

[Mini Me]

Excellent production Paul! Way more than I could get done in several years. What's next........or do I dare ask?

 

[minitnkr]

I've used up all the "not in rack" water jerry cans on these 1/2tracks. I think I may have under estimated my order. I'll distribute amongst the Shermans & M10s next & see whats left for engineers & infantry.

 

[minitnkr]

Big Picture before redoing crews & Neil jerry cans. Thanks to all for your support.

 

[minitnkr]

Added 26 "Neil bazookas" & 31 additional infantry to fill out all the tracks. I think this might be done.

Well done Paul!

 

[David Lovell]

Great work Paul and as always intresting in what makes up the div/plat if you know what I mean ,take a break down loading all thoes shots must have been a bigger job than the build ,looking forward to the next project. Dave

 

[Jim R]

Great stuff Paul. The scope of your dios is incredible. As has already been mentioned the way you manage to get such variety into the vehicles gives extra interest.

 

[minitnkr]

Thank you gentlemen.
When you spread the build over 40+ years it's not too bad Dave. Initially, it was to represent the traffic jam between elements of 23rdAI & 11th Inf. at Dornot until I realized how big the dio would have to be after visiting the site.
