This looks bloody lovely John,
I just love how the figures are all telling their own little stories, eg: 'The guy cleaning his weapon, and the guy sewing his jacket'.. bloody brilliant.

Absolutely outstanding Dzohn. Love upper poring over maps in the other room. PaulE

Despite the unfair StuG no parking plan, :unamused:fantastic work John, first class skills, ideas and figures:tongue-out3:

[Gary G]

Fantastic attention to detail. Looking really good. Looking forward to seeing it lit up.

Brilliant work, wish I could do half as well - I try, but can't seem to get the details across (trust my eldest son to look over my shoulder - he said "What about the mud on the boots?" - I just said there's a mat outside & they wiped 'em!)

Glad you liked it Chris, thought those figures just gave it that something.

Thanks Paul, I know you can't see a lot, but think that makes it more interesting.

Thanks Bob, your welcome to try to drop in, but there's some big artillery hiding in those trees, and they just love eating StuGs ! :surprised::surprised::surprised::smiling2::nerd:

Thanks Gary, yes your not alone on the lights, hoping they'll be ok.

Cheers Gerry, these Russians are highly Bunker trained, but there is some mud, a little can be seen on the boots, it's very light in colour. So maybe the photos don't show it that well .
Sure you will get the details, just keep trying, practice and practice.

Nice work John :thumb2:
Steven

This morning I started to decide where the light should go, as I have three for the bunker I've put one at the back where the Officers are looking at the map.
The other two ate as you will see in the kitchen area.

The stove has had the lights in to test, work ok but not as bright as I hoped, so painted the inside of the stove bright orange and a splash of red. Not connected yet, but have been tried and look good.
At the moment the roof section has been glued into place, with some weights to hold the edges tightly.

The roof its self has had some aluminium foil glued to the surface in-between the joists, this has made a great difference.



OH HAPPY DAYS, great when the idea comes together.

Thanks for looking in, comments welcome.
Dzhon.

John, there is so much detail, so much going on and it is so so good I can spot something different every time I look at it.
Blooming marvelous !!!!

[Tim Marlow]

Looking better and better John. The lighting certainly takes it up another notch. I assume you are going to seal the visible light leaks around the scene when it’s complete?
