Great looking build. But I think the dog is a little opinionated. later, Kelly

*could it be* Ian that you didn't find a blue paper big enough to cover the complete diorama?
Awesome as usual, you are a real "diorama author" in this sense that you have a very personal style that allows anybody to spot and identify your dioramas at first sight,
so congratulations for another outsanding project

This diorama took a loooong time to view
Mostly because there was so much going on in such a tight space.
Well done.

Excellent job Ian. This is probably the best base/dio of a kit this size I have seen to date. You really pulled it off.
Cheers,
Jim

Thanks everybody for the great feedback. It's worth all the work when other modellers appreciate the detail.
Bill, thank you for putting the article up so quickly. You did a great layout.
Scott and Jim, thanks. You must see models all day long, so it means a lot when you go out of your way to leave some positive feedback.
JB - haven't spoken for a while, great to hear from you! You got the Blue paper thing spot on. I couldn't get enough to fill the shot - thank god for 'cloning' . Trying to photograph the whole display in one shot was a real challenge. Drop me a line on email and we can catch up with the latest.
Thanks again for your interest everyone.

Well done, Ian!!!!!!!

WOW, an excellent scene. I love the way you've planned the dio around a story, therefore all the extra touches really compliment the finished peice.
A LOT of inspiration for my upcoming panzerjagerwagen dio here for sure!
Great work well done.

I've seen some stunning builds on this site - but out of all of them, this has to be my personal favourite so far.
Superb stuff.

Dung,
thank you. The flags were done with a set from Archer - dry transfers - set no ar35008. These are applied to a thin metal foil and moulded to the contour you wish. They come out double-sided by putting the foil in between two dry decals. Clear instructions are provided with the set. Highly recomended.
And thanks again to everybody for the interest shown and the great feedback - much appreciated.
