Here's the final pictures of my recently build diorama. Apart from the tanker, who came with a kit, the remaining figures are 1/35 Master Box.

I've added a broken telegraph pole, some errant power cable, some broken guttering - and a bit of watter! Brush painted and built from bits an' bobs.

It's Autumn 1944. The Allies are pushing ever eastward.
On the way, elements of the U.S 101st. P.I.R. have rounded up four German soldiers. Three, who are little more than boys, have had enough and are more concerned about their wounded comrade than offering any sort of resistance. The third, a tank crew member is very aggressive, and still thinks he's fighting the war.

The U.S. Medic. has told his companion to guard the prisoners - Especially the tanker. The trooper has obliged by ordering the man to put his hands on the wrecked tank!

"Move, and I shoot!"

I hope you like the finished model.

Thanks for looking in and thanks too for all your great comments throughout the build.

Cheers.

Superb!!! It has such character in B&W, but then you hit the colour and see the true complexity of it all. Well done sir!

Outstanding Ron. From the modelling and building, the setting of the scene and the photography, simply stunning.

So having finished this one, have you decided what you're going to do with that half-submarine you got lying about? I've been racking my brains - both brain cells!- trying to work out what you could do with it.
