lot's of effort shown in these pics of a great scene from the movie. i can imagine the time with your son putting this together was definitely quality time.

you should submit this diorama for the TV/Movie Campaign that ends Oct 1/10 so that you and your young man can be awarded a ribbon for your profile... people on that thread would appreciate seeing it. cheers, mh.

here's the link to enlist and then upload the pics required to the Campaign section by clicking on Photos tab at the top of the page to get to that album.

Very nice depiction of a great movie scene. I'm sure it was fun building the kit with your son. My daughter just calls me a nerd and a kook

That looks real good,but shouldn't the Tiger have T-34 roadwheels ?? One small thing,Pvt Rieven on the back of the rabbit had Brooklyn USA painted on the back of his jacket.

Very nice work but hard to depict in such a limited space. At that distance one good long spray from the hull gunner on the tiger would leave the entire group of Americans in shreds. If you ever fired a 30 cal machine gun you would know what I mean. All the same it is a very nice dio.......Al

thanks, since its cold here in central PA, were starting another project. The scene is from the movie 1941 with John Belushi as Wild Bill Kelso. where he lands in death valley and stops for fuel.
