Sorry for the delay in posting my finished diorama, but I wanted to wait until conditions were right to take some pictures. Yesterday was such a day. Luuuvverrly deep shadows!
Thanks to all those who posted such nice comments during the build for this. I truly appreciated every single one.
.................................................. .................................................. .................................................. ............
In the Italian village of Fusilli, the rearguard of the retreating enemy has put up a short, but fierce resistance to the advancing Allies.
A Tiger tank has been destroyed along with a Panzer. Unfortunately an American gunner has destroyed the Tiger far too late, and the wreck has ended up blocking the bridge that elements of the U.S. armour wished to use as a means to crossing the river.
An American photographer has snapped the moment when the Major in charge of the successful liberation of the village is quizzing the poor chap responsible for the 'road block'.
"Lieutenant, want my tanks across that bridge - TONIGHT!"
I've taken far too many pictures, so I've chosen a mixture of colour and b/w. If you would like to 'suffer' some more, I'll post them. I also took a couple with the houses backdrop I painted, I gave it my best shot, but I'm not really happy with the effect. If anyone would like to see them, I'll post these too.
Here is my stab at the scene.
Cheers all
Ron
