Great work Ron.


All the love and care taken to put all the rubble, dirt and dust in the right places then you just go and cover it all up with snow. But what great looking snow top work once again Ron


Oh and a very nice and touching story to go with it.

Amazing work once again ron , the build almost takes a back seat to the touching, superbly crafted back story. They both tie together perfectly and give a great sense of humanity to the ugly business of war , great build doodah coming your way , cheers tony

What can I write?


I'm so pleased you all like my mini dio. and my little story to go with it. Sadly, such a thing would be happening all day, every day.......


Lady and chaps, the content of your posts is very humbling and I'm more than a little chuffed at the positive response.


However, I've spotted something wot is not right....


The tank is the first one I ever built, painted and weathered. I then posted it here in my first ever dio. I knew nothing about the anatomy of a Tiger tank, and presumed the front corners were thick armour. Looking at it today I spotted my error, because these front 'skirts' are quite thin metal and they looked too thick, so I've just had a trip to my bench.....


I've hacked the offending thing off and weathered the exposed track some more. I've also bent the side skirt up a bit too.


Me happier bunny now!

what ever become of his wife and kids,

Don't worry Monica, after the war she married a big, horny ski instructor. Had two more children and lived to be 95!

impressive build, brilliant weathering.

Love the story, it's as though you have made the diorama come alive. Very well detailed too, in such a small area. Well done!

[spanner570]

Thanks for your posts boys. I appreciate your comments and glad you like the imaginary story line too Geoff.
