Thank you, 520..etc! Glad you like them - pity your username isn't shorter though! You'll have to post your name, it will be easier to write!
Matt, you keep your Typhoon away from my tanks, my 20mm Flak is U/S !
Well, the original plan for the 21st Panzer diorama was that it was going to be even larger, as a permanent display, in a glass display case, at the reception area of the (tank) business I was involved with back in '95. Things changed, and I intended to have the thing at home, probably about 3 x 5 feet. But yet again, I've had to change plans, as I aint got that much room and, even if I had, how the heck do I move such a large display about by myself, especially the way I am now!? But, it will work out, I hope, as I've re-designed the layout slightly, allowed for compression, and added a bit of artistic licence! The scene is centred around three PzKfw IV's, clustered under a small copse of trees, near an isolated barn or garage, being re-armed and re-fuelled, with a command 'O' group to one side, with a Kublewagen and field car, a recce patrol with Kublewagen and SdKfz 222 armoured car, a couple of trucks for the supplies, plus personnel, and a couple of motor bikes. There were more elements, but it would be too crowded with those, so they'll be a separate display. All the individual 'cameos' are built and catalogued, it just needs the base making. However, as there will be a number of trees, each one to be hand-made, and lots of other terrain features, it's going to take ages to build. Once I get started it shouldn't be too bad, but I'm still trying to decide where to put it, and I'm looking at changing things around in my small house!
I'll post pics of the 'collection' very soon, and you'll see what I mean!
