Very well done ! A very 'peaceful,pleasant' diorama. It's always a nice juxtaposition when you can create a peaceful scene using soldiers, war as a backdrop

Wow, that´s really nice! I love peaceful scenes also including some soldiers.
Also the base is something different than the most others, which are nearly -flat- .
greetings...

Wow, I didn't realize that people were still looking at my post now
![](../../modules/SquawkBox/images/smilies/wink.gif)
. Thanks for the encouragement, my friend. Yes, it's Zvezda's BMW R-12 motorcycle combination, a really excellent kit to build, only needing some wiring to the engine and a scratch-built battery (which was not included in the kit
