Xavier;
This is COOL! Nice Job this!
But... when I see those guys toting nice, clean bricks, and that load of nice roof-tiles in the truck.... what comes to mind is a mis-use of critical supply-line resources by some chubby REMF who has tasked some troopies to fix up his villa - in Italy or maybe France! (Hmmmm. Are there any such red-tile-roofed villas in the east front?)

Interesting diorama- the bricks really draw the eye into the scene. Great work.

Really nice job. May I ask how you went about making the mud and tire tracks?

I was looking at this earlier and have to say this is certainly a nice subject matter. Those bricks seem quite large to me, but this is one heck of a well executed dio. I can almost feel the damp cold air and hear the squishy sounds of footsteps and wheelbarrows in the mud

Hi Xavier,
Very nice work, is the construction equipment from plus model? My only comments: not enough foot prints in the mud and not enough room on the plank of wood to turn the wheelbarrow.
Again wonderful idea and work!

Shouldn't their boots be dirty? Boots and a couple of milimeters of their legs. Just my opinion.

Hello to all and first of all thnak you very much for your comments!
Bob: A good friend of mine told me that those tiles existed in the nordic countries and east front for this time, and about building a privat villa.... well i think in war enginiers does not just build bridges or bunkers, maybe also some train stations, repair some headcuarters, some houses, etc... Anyway thanks for the comments!
Milvehan and Sal, the briks are from a german company called "juwella", ther eare great! About cement mixer it's a plus model reference but with some "modifications" Thanks for posting!
Karls and Joe, thanks, and i did the ground with just some daspronto plaster, then i took a weel from an old model and press it on the plaster, it's easy to reproduce!
Jeremy, Vladimir and Matt, thansk also to you for posting. Yes the constructions accesories are from a plus model kit, and also from the dragon figures box. The brick have the right size they ar efrom a comercial brand called "juweela" and they show you on the box the exactly size.
About the boots, yes you've reason, they have some mud but it seems maybe was not inuf and some more steps on the mood could be better. Next time i'll pay more atention on it!
