That turned out well nice. I love the base as well. Is that home brew or a kit base. Regardless it looks great.
Nice one!

Thanks so much Ian, base is completely scratch built from 1/4" foam poster board.
Flowering vines from some dried weed tops from garden, sprayed with clear urethane and painted and set in place with white glue.
Other veg from scrips and scraps and an old paint brush.

See; "lovely day For a War" in dios under construction for procces of building base.

Very impressive work, any plans of adding any figures?
Thanks tommy, actually not a dio, just a base for various displays at the mo.
I kinda have a phobia about figures, I never like the way they turn out.

I'm sure "Chickie" will be worked into some kind of scenario one day.

Wow Jim,

I missed this too, but then again I miss a lot of fantastic things here. The whole scene is great and so well finished down to the last weeds on the wall and debris between the cobblestones!!! Top drawer work Sir!!! Oh, The Bang-Bang is fine and a heck of a job on the old Tammy kit too...……..

A great build Jim. Although the AFV is top notch the back wall certainly takes the prize for me. Wonderful work. Great stuff sir:thumb2:
