    Like it!!......isn't there much difference between 1/300 and 1/285 scale? I assume you do not mix these two scales as I presume the difference would be noticeable.

      Hi. guys

      A very productive week, not only finishing my pool table but also these three dioramas:

      the first is a conversion - all of the log carpet equipment was scratch built. i tried to make the base look like the transition between wet sand and dry sand. its ok but not great - might re-visit it in future.

      I much prefer this one - two tanks, one carrier and a couple of infantrymen approaching a railway embankment.

      All vehicles and figures are from GHQ.
      the tarmac on the road is very fine wet'n'dry sand paper.

        Great work Peter. Really great work.

        I used to game a bit in 1/300 and so know how very small these are. Very well done indeed.

          I think they are marvellous Peter. So much in such a small space. Similar dios in 1/35 or even 1/72 would need a great deal of space so virtually impossible.

              GHQ shows the way in this scale. What a difference. Great work.

                  hi Guys

                  A couple more completed. this time I have tried scene with ruined buildings. I used a couple of buildings which are aimed at the wargaming market. They are ok, but not great in terms of details nd I think my rubble is a bit large in areas. A bit of a learning curve on these.

                      Looking fine. Tiny rubble is tough.
