    "Horror Of Falaise"

    Just a thought to bandy about for my next big dio project. I believe the name says it all, it will be my winter project, already have the base, it will be my "Drive In The Country" display board suitably grunged up of course. Will need to collect certain specific stuff and have plenty of figures it the junk boxes to make a lot of poor unfortunates out of also am going to be bidding on some dead horses and wagons and such.....OMG! it's going to be nightmarish whattiya thinko_O [ATTACH]117950.IPB[/ATTACH]

        If you can copy that photo it will be totally wicked. Go for it dude.

          Wasn't going for exact copy but something very similar, but now you've planted the seed of challenge, don't have a Panther tank but do have a Jagdepanther and an Opal Maultier I was thinking of using as the main attraction plus some sorts of busted up wagons and horses and alas German soldiers. All very preliminary just some thing to focus on. The Missus says "Good Lord not another big dio" but I say the museum must expand at all costs!!.................Jim

                  I know how you feel since I'm not too fond of doing them myself but am starting to enjoy it. They breath life into a project but I find my perfectionist side coming out with them so I have to learn when to stop. It's doing the poor victims of wars violence convincingly that's the real challenge but I'll get a bit of practice with current project, but it will pale in comparison too the carnage I will unleash in "Horror"..................................Jim.

                    Yeah , it is a bit of a challenge but why not, I know I still have a long way to go with current project but it won't be long.
