This is my first serios Diorama.

I use Stug from Dragon with Aber etch, Figures from dragon, MB, Miniart, Building from Miniart

Time is May 1940, in the area of Bergues, where a 640th Independant Sturmgeschutz Battery attached til Grossdeutschland Stug, meet up with some LAH SS verfugungs truppen.

Story line is: Wo kriegt man das ? Vorne am front kumpel !!

The Stug crew and the SS man are eating to gether, the SS man ask not very brightly the Stug commander where he got the Ironcross, the SS mans comrad is quick in his reply.

but here is how far I am at the moment.

Cheers
Jes

Where can i get this? On the front, buddy!

That is the translation, how Jes is going to transpose this in the dio, that's another story.

I had to do some arm exchange´s on the SS figures, so had to do some sculpting in Miliput, to get it to look right.

cheers

Hi,
Your figures look good, but there is some problems with the timeline. I don't really think that MP 44 and MG 42 would fit to scene at 1940, since they are not in use yet. I am not quite sure about the camouflageg jackets if they were used or not.

Do not take any notice of whats laying around, just left overs or from other projects, I am not that good at keeping my work space tidy

For the camoflage smocks they are within the timeline, I always do research before starting a projekt.

cheers
