Here's the wrecked Panzer in three locations. To make some sort of background, I've had another trip into the loft and brought down the remains of three diorama bases.

A Normandy village.

For the final part, I'll quickly go to snow - In Eastern Europe.

Thank for your post Andy. Much appreciated. :thumb2:

I guess this this has run it's course now. I suspect having three parts was too disjointed to retain interest.

Thanks to those who posted their comments throughout this build.

I'll end it now. Perhaps I'll visit Russian snow and ice another time.......

Cheers.
Ron

You have fully understood the "value for money" side of this hobby of ours.
Cant wait to see the winter version.

Ron, that Panzer sure has a fetish for having its picture taken...nice holiday postcard shots. :smiling6: It's also not shy about discarding its clothing showing the insides...could catch a cold in the next snow picture. Nice. :thumb2:

Cheers,
Richard

Wonderful stuff Ron! I foresee lots of disappointment if we don't get to see a winter version though.

Just a thought for summat different. Anybody remember the 'picture' of that B17 on the moon the front page of the first Daily Star?
