most of today was spend drawing up some detailed plans of the bar billiards table I am about to start building, but I found enough time to work on the Stug:

The plastic is a little too thick but the thinnest I have, any thinner and I doubt if it would be strong enough to hold together. Before anybody points it out; I know I am using the wrong Stug, the photo os a Stug IV and I am using a Stug III but at this scale i am going to live with it.

It’s great to see you progressing into conversions. I told you that these micro dioramas are addictive! Great work!

I think looking at the size of the supports this was more for rubble than snow.

Rick - funny you should say that - seeing the photo makes me consider reducing the size of some of the brackets, but no rivets!

Andy - they are good fun, I am still getting to grips with the figures, they are small. i think my next conversion may be changing a Universal Carrier into a flamethrower version, something nice and simple.

paul - if you scale up the thickness of my supports I think it could demolish a house!

Peter

ps - the postman delivered my bar billiard table stuff today, so next week will be cutting wood.

I’ve been able to take some time off the bar billiards table and wife’s on these.
Firstly I have filled the empty area next to the crocodile with a Sherman flail and some British figures:

and the Stug dozer with more rubble and a few figure:

Excellent Peter. These micros are even more fun when you venture into converting them to your own special adaptions.

Chees guys.

Tim - I'm deliberately keeping away from any website which has a Black Friday event - far too tempting!
Andy - perhaps you shold have sold them your conversion as a master? I think I may convert an ordinary universal carrier into a Wasp, flame thrower, the idea of making a bergpanzer does also appeal. Watch this space. But. For the moment I think I'll stick to their versions.

Outstanding work Peter, can't wait to see the pool table. Ahh.... memories of smoke filled rooms trying to run the second table.

I'm enjoying seeing these dioramas Peter, and wondering what's next??? Great stuff! Soon you'll have a collection as large as mine!

Hi Guys

Rick - that woud be the ideal dio, unfortunately I cannot source civilian figures for the crowd, nor the Merc.
Paul - the bar billiard table is slowly progressing, this week I have been working on the leg joints to build the frame as well as work out the ball return runs. Each pocket needs its own channel under the playing table to return to balls to the player.
Andrew - my collection is slowly building up, next may involve a shallow river crossing.
