hi guys
well here it is ,on the final day of this group build
the diorama has several kits included and 1 that was not even planned but was used at the last minute
the idea is to have the gun in firing position with the supply train next to it
the entire artillary piece is then placed on a double railroad track wich lies next to a dirt road where a command/communications half track helps to get the rounds on target and a flak carrying half track is sitting around for anti air support
and finally a group of infantrymen are passing by while they are on their way to the battlefield
and that is enough chitchat
here are the pictures (much more intresting then my waffeling)

cheers Mark

Thanks guys
Your comments are appreciated
I'm sorry to say that i don't have a new cave Chief
I will have to build a small table for it
At first it would have gone on top of my closets , then my display cabinets and due to a new tv it was going on a new closet but it is too high
So it gets a table underneath my window
Well somewhere next week
Thanks for stopping by

That is truly outstanding Mark, looks absolutely amazing!! :th: :th: :clap: :clap: :bow:: :bow::

The level of detail and just the scale of the thing is breathtaking. I'm going to make myself a big mug of coffee so I can sit back and take a good long look at your pictures again and thoroughly enjoy taking in every detail! :cheers2:
