Here is the Verlinden Heavy Machine Gun Bunker that I built for this campaign. Nothing like waiting till the last minute to finish it up.
Here is an in-progress photo showing the bunker, the Verlinden barbed wire and static grass and the Esci figures that I used.

Here are the photos of the finished project.



I basically wanted to show two soldiers placing land mines near the barbed wire. I wanted to keep the scene fairly simple so I didn't add a lot of extra gear around the bunker. I figured that most everything would have been stored inside anyway. I did some weathering but not a lot. I could have done more to the project but I had grown tired of it and wanted to finish it up in time for the end of the campaign. I may go back and do more with it at a later date. Dioramas and figures are still a new area for me so I will just have to keep practicing. As is taking photos of the finished project. Everything looks shinier than it really is due to the flash. Oh well, practice will only help in the long run.
Thanks for the campaign Lee-Enfield (Lewis). I enjoyed it.

Gentlepeople, congratulations! And thank-you for your participation. Ribbons have now been awarded.
I'd like to conclude this campaign by saying that there have been some awesome ideas, even if some of them weren't completed by our deadline (such as mine.) Everyone has encouraged and helped each other as best could be, and, people, I'd like to say to you all:
Well Done.
It has been a pleasure to put this campaign together, and then to "run" it.
So, until the next time, folks...

Thank you Lewis for your time and effort. This is my first diorama and it was a test of ideas mostly for me and I will post some finished pics soon.

Thanks for the effort with the campaign, Lewis. It was a joy to participate.
I am also one of the people with a secomd 88mm Flak diorama that never got of the ground. Anyway, my first Wespe diorama was fun, so I have the other one to look forward to for another campaign.
See you all in other campaigns

Gentlepeople, you're all very welcome.
Jacob, I'm glad to hear it! And for the record, Jesper will tell you, campaigning can be very addicting!
