    Some real great work going into this.


    We all know the horror's of war and it is good to see you are not shying away from it.


    If people are offended by it,then I think you have achieved what is being portrayed.


    keep up the good work.

          Thanks Monica, crumpled 'metal' is a wine bottle cork wrapping, saved it along time ago now I know why.


          This one has me going so I will be moving on it ,not to rush of course but because I'm enjoying it so much, besides it's winter now so.....


          The family sees me as a kind of mad scientist hunched over my diabolical creation in my lab [card table]


          Now I'm being seduced by the notion of going BIG! Presently I am looking at a 11in.x19in. working surface BUT, am looking real hard at a 17in.x29in. boardops:


          Want to bring in some advancing American soldiers awestruck by the carnage and trying to lend some humanitarian assistance.


          Let's see... a Sherman....a halftrack [M3] need more figures maybe a big German cat [wrecked of course] Somebody stop me!.............Cheers Jim

                Many thanks Ralph, I hope no one is offended, it is just a diorama after all. Most on here know me by now so this is nothing new. I have a tendency to bite of more than I think I can chew


                but I always see it through, though it may take some time to finally complete, but the way I figure it I ain't goin nowhere. I've always set big goals for myself, in life as well as my modeling


                and this one will be EPIC!....................Humblyops:........Jim

                          That tank spider thing looks amazing and back to your work really like how you have used thin metal as the damage from the explosions really like it
