France 44 tankers break up the boredom

[Ziper_it]

OT: Polux this is for you, you forgot director and camera behind the building corner recording the movie.

Alan, sorry to hijack your thread, hope you can forgive me

 

[Alan 45]

Errr...:oops:I really like this diorama idea Alan!! So, I'm thinking about it like was mine :P

How about this?

You have eleven persons. What are they doing? Playing football, ok!!

When this happens? You have two tanks (P.IV), so is a war time...the second ww.

A diorama needs to show how many information better!!

You need the "where" :eek:

On a simple mud field. On a street, near a church. On a prisoners field like "evasion or victory".

Sorry if I'm turning bored....:oops:

Thanks for that polux I appreciate your input

The scene I have in is a field on the edge of a small town with left side a house or something similar a lane then a hedgerow , the tanks will be under trees out of the way parked up

The people will be watching the footy and I think I'll make the gendarme the referee an old feller looking on dour maybe he has links to the marque a small boy in shorts hopping to get a game and the tank crews by the tanks , the idea I got was from a book saying how some accepted the Germans after a while

They look great Alan, I don;t think the faces are bad at all. Number two looks like he has just received the ball into his body!

 

[Lee W]

Great work so far...I'm watching closely with interest...

 

[Alan 45]

Cheers guys I appreciate that

[dubster72]

He's very good Alan, you must have steady hands!

 

[Alan 45]

Some times Patrick on that one I did have to do a bit of touching up but I've cut a brush down to about four hairs so the over spill is now limited and it makes it easier to touch up

And the wife bought me some magnifying glasses used for watch repair

Oh sorry I forgot to say thank you for liking him

Oh by the way the Kublewaggon won't be in the dio I just needed him to lean up against something and then realised he doesn't need to lol

 

[Polux]

I like it Alan

I must admit the figures are sculpted on a very relaxed position...:eek: they look very well.
