James! I am surprised no ones had an Input because its looking smashing! and what a great idea!, I knwo what you mean about the buildings fitting, Martyn had the same problem!

Great work keep it coming!.

Are you going to have any soldiers or people in the house?

O btw. Can you edit your posts so your pictures go under neath each other and not side by side? Please! Its a pain to navigate on your thread!

Never the less Great work dude keep it up!

Hi, those Pz1 are tiny. How about a maintance,field hospital or troops relaxing, bunking down, waking up getting ready for action in the out houses ? When I 1st seen the Mini Art Farm house I thought it looked great. With the amount of ground space you could have quite a busy Dio. With the large wall with big gate, you could almost have 2 different sceens going on in 1 Dio. Inside the gate and ouside, or open the gate and combine both? Cheers Geraint

tally ho chaps, thanks for the feedback! pics ahve been sorted sorry for the mishap, never usually happens,
James , unfortunatly the house is damaged. on pic No one you can see a pretty poor pile of rubble, but i do like the idea of a cutaway house, im not sure, i also liek the idea of a place that was abandoned a while before the war
i was maybe thinking of getting the soon to be new tamya 1/35 citeroen but im note sure if it fits the bill time wise, was thinking of doing it all civvied up still just ideas floating around1

Geraint yes it is tiny, i was a bit worried that the scale of everything was out,
whats gonna happen with the gates is, they will be closed, but there is a acess door and that will be open:D i like the idea of maintainance, and im hopefully gonna have some civillians pottering around!

The car sounds intereasting but would leave it out mate.

The idea of the crew doing maintanence sounds good maybe have the tank just off the road and have the civie's looking on sounds a good idea

Hey James,
Looking good. I find if you don't sand the building pieces really well on a flat surface when you put them together they can be a bit too thick to fit into the area of the base that is molded to accept them. I reviewed this kit and came away liking the section with the house on it better than both pieces used together.
Anyway, bang up job so far.
You could get a Bronco Sd.Kfz 221recon vehicle and have a meeting between them and the Panzer I commander

Cheers,
Charles
