very good build Gary! but one thing i have noticed is that the guy in your dio seems so relaxed that its almost impossible to think that he's hiding from enemy aircraft.. it looks more like he's waiting on someone to repair his vehicle.. but maybe that's just how i saw it... a very nice build nonetheless!

Gary, I think it looks great!!. Hiding fro the Allies is hard work. He looks like he needs a brew

Good job. The guy definently looks like he feels secure and unconcerned

A very nice diorama - good and effective layout. It tells a simple and convincing story.

Thanks for sharing

I like it.

You would be suprised at how relaxed somebody could get in a war-zone when exhaustion kicks in. But one snap of a twig, and the relaxation disappears immediately. I think the figure tells the whole story.

Hmmmm....I think this is an experienced armour crewmember, tired of constantly having to hide from recon aircraft, confident in his ability after weeks of relentless hassle from said recon aircraft and he's downright fed up with it!!!

Nice work Gary, well done. Reminds me of that "dinner time" diorama I have in my head involving a SdKfz 251/9 +crews +field kitchen!!!

Eventually!
