This is my current project.
a representation of Führerbunker, with U.S. officials to be informed by another officer appeared Soviet of where the remains of Hitler, while other soldiers are dedicated to "flush "the bunker of souvenirs and take a bus.

the moment I have built the Jeep Gaz, and I'm building the ICM Studebaker truck and formwork for concrete cube bunker output

Hi,
The vehicles look good, nice weathering. I like your idea; it’s going to be an interesting Diorama.
Good luck!

nice start domi, i like the weathering on the Gaz.

question, it appears the steering wheel doesn't come close to lining up with the driver's seat... is this an inherent design flaw of the kit? cheers, bd.

Domi,
I like your idea and nice work so far on the jeep, but I don't see either the truck or the jeep in the photo, so I will be following to see how this all comes together. By the way what will you be using for the figures

Hi all
You are right, the steering wheel looks weird, but that is not attached to
waiting for the driver to

It is true that in this picture are British, but there are many more,

this with American



and even this with Churchill and many more



and these will be some of the figures

After a long time, a small forward.
Now the construction of the truck, if you're lucky you soon faileth

and the entrance to the bunker, built with stone, I have to give a layer of putty to cover the larger bubbles and that piece is missing from the side

Hi Domi,

Nice work, the bunkers looking good with the shrapnel battle damage. The weathering on the truck is also quite nice. Hope to see more soon!

Well,
two finished parts gave, on one hand the other truck and the conveyor belt

now I have to rectify the concrete cube because of the last photos I saw the unfinished tower was part of the side of the cube, so I have to widen to the same extent that the tower

Hi Domi,

Really cool scratch building, how did you weather the conveyer belt? And where are the wheels from (are they Lego?). It is very nice, looking forward to the finish.

Hi domi,

I didn’t realize the diorama would be so large, it’s some good progress. I really like your work, but there are some things I would like to point out. The bunker entrance is too small (should be wider and thicker) and the door way is slightly lower than the actual thing. Also I don’t know if you are going to do this any way but the tower to the right of the door was still under construction at the time, so make sure to put the iron supports and the wooden wall.

The bottom part of the air filter tower should have the same texture as the cylindrical part. There should also be a sort of opening at the top part of the tower.

I know it’s late but have a look at this (might be helpful):

Hello Domi i share Frank's sentiment being it's a somewhat unusual dio but that aside i think it's coming along really well and i for one can't wait to see it in it's finished entirety
