Another tribute to your volumetric work! It would be impossible to create this scene without the number of outstanding models you have built Paul. I can only dream of such massive groupings of equipment. Rick H.

Working some Preiser figs to keep the MOJO up. As you can see these little beggars are pretty tiny & complex. The reason I'm partial to Preiser is their consistant detail & the ability to swap torsos, limbs, heads, hats, weapons & other kit to create more poses. PaulE

Just realized I didn't comment, Paul. The scope of this is phenomenal. I couldn't even dream of bringing together so many elements and sustaining my interest. Brilliant stuff. If I was into that braille scale I would definitely be using those Preiser figs, they look excellent.

Hi Paul
Very unusual to see so many models brought together. Your skills really come to the fore with big dios like this. The many figures are a huge amount of eye straining work but worth it.

Mary Shelly would be impressed!

Nice work on the Ketten. I was amazed to find out the other day that a fully working original sells for around £130K. There were probably hundreds of them knocking around at the end of the war!

Thank you gentlemen. Yeah, they were Rick. Many photos of GIs driving. Apparently they were very torquey, so a lot of fun to drive. PaulE

Nice work Paul, those turned out beautiful. Got a few of those Horchs in the stash. Looks like they paint up pretty nice. Rick H.

Incredible work in such a small scale. I would need a microscope for that.

Thanks gents. Steve, production of the kettengrads continued through 1948 for various forestry services.
JayCee, I use a lighted magnifying glass to mount the figures' heads & hats. PaulE

Here are four dismounted PG squads (251) in various states of completion. These are made up of parts of two sets of Preiser walking dudes (#16557), two guys from a Preiser dismounting PG set (#16528, upper right MG & asst.), & two ROCO squad leaders (far right). PaulE
