A long time ago, when Dragons ruled the world - I started a diorama from scrap MDF and bits n' pieces. I have re-discovered it and decided to resurrect it; the figures are unpainted but in place to give the effect I was looking for. It needs more scrap and replacement fitments, some retouching of paintwork and perhaps a change of vehicles, and perhaps (in my wilder moments) minimal internal lighting. Criticism and suggestions are very welcome!IMG_0289.jpgIMG_0289.jpgIMG_0288.jpgIMG_0287.jpgIMG_0286.jpgIMG_0285.jpgIMG_0284.jpgIMG_0280 (1).jpg

My apologies for my Luddite ineptitude - just can't seem to get my act together at present. If Little Canfield (my home) still had stocks I'd be a permanent resident! I promise to try harder!

Did a little edit for you Steve ;)

Looks great so far. I'd be happy with how it's going.

No but i charge very good rates. But don't worry. You're in massive credit because of the recent kit additions to the household lol

That is a great start........and what's not to like about the vehicles? One seldom sees a diorama these days with a trailer in tow.......the Germans employed thousands of them, of every type....looks pretty well thought out if you ask me. Rick H.
