Hi Rojer,

Hands down wildest attempt at a diorama, u have quite a skill and a grand ambition. May I ask what is under the tarp in the barn/shed? and what did you use for the tree? And ,as Adam stated, are you going to be able to move it?

Regards,

actually that vehicle is in the process of being changed. It will be the Stalinets tractor made by Wespe. Should be finished within a week or so. I have never tried to move it but actually I don't think it would be too terribly difficult. Currently, nothing is glued or pinned down as there is still a lot to be done and figures, vehicles, etc. are being changed and moved frequently. Once everything is finalized in a year or so and all the figures, etc. are attached then the legs on the table can fold and everything can be moved as one big piece. Never considered entering it into any contests so it will probably just sit here.

Just when you think he can't possibly add any more detail, you find just the piece to accent the dio. Some excellent work. Maybe if I started now, I could be to where you are in two years. Keep 'em coming.
