John what a convincing dio! Outstanding craftsmanship and weathering it looks so real. Ok where do I put the hand warmers and I have to go and get out of my long johns now

Sorry Lee, thought I'd replied. Oh wrap them in foil and lay them on the exhaust.

Fantastic cold dio John, love the heavy snow effect on the panzer and troops.
Neat little detail too with the firewood next to the shed.
One to be proud of

Hi Fernando , thank you.

Hi John truly outstanding work the snow effect on the troops is amazing got to be your best and certainly one to be proud of, one for next June maybe.

Cheers Pete, appreciate your kind comment, never showed any of my models yet and wouldn't know how as not a member of any club.

Thanks all, it was great fun to do and turned out better than I imagined. No doubt luck played a large part. )

Seeing this Diorama calls to mind why the East Front Medal was called the "Frozen Meat Order"! BRRRRRRRRRRRrrrrrrr That looks cold! Well done 453, that turned out the Bomb! Rick H.

Terrific and teeth chatteringly cold, John R. You know how to torture a person...I'm only in my shorts and T. The last time I saw this it looked like summer with grass. You sure captured the look of Russian winter...frost and snow sticks to you like powder. If any of those guys intend to relieve themslves, they would probably here a clinking sound and suffer severe frost bite.

Cheers,
Richard

Cracking dio John, looks perishing!

Hi Lee.
Wingy, ........................... well not really my thing though I've done 3 in total, all Russian of course . Quite like some of the ICM offerings, might have a look.

John,

Thanks Paul, kind of you to say.

Thanks Rick, I'm still thawing out, how any one survived that cold. The winter of 1941-42 was most severe in European Russia. In the area northwest of Moscow the mean temperature during January 1942 was —32° F., and the 26th of the month in the same area saw the lowest recorded temperature of the entire Russian campaign — 63° F.

Bet is was Richard, don't suppose you wanted to relieve yourself out in the cold, frost bite !.

Cracking dio John, looks perishing!
