Beautiful Diorama, Alan!
The guy bringing up supplies is living life on the edge if there are snipers on the other side. His head seems to be pretty high up.
Thanks for sharing

Hi Jasper, Roman, Mike and Michael,
Thanks for looking in guys and glad you enjoyed the scene. This is the picture I believe Firestorm based their vignette on:
It was a lot fo fun to do somethinandg slightly different, for me anyway.
Cheers

Its always nice to see some WW1 work and this scene is a gem- I think you have really captured the look of the photo and the detail and finishing is excellent. Nice stuff Alan- thanks for sharing!

Hi Karl,
Many thanks for the kind comments. There is a lot of opportunity for AM 1/35 scale WW1 subjects as they are not likely to get covered in plastic.
Many years ago I built a trench scene from convereted Tamiya figures which has long since been consigned to history but I would like to do another small NWE trench scene at some point, but lack of suitable figures is alwasy a problem.
The new Tommy's War figures are excellent but in the wrong scale for me and as yet the range isn't developed enough for a good mix and match choice.
Hopefully we will see some developments for this period and scale in the coming years.
Cheers
Al

I agree- I was actually thinking of seeing if those Tommy's War figures would be suitable for 1/35 but I saw a discussion somewhere (probably here) saying they were, as you said, too big. I would love to see some of the big names tackle WW1 AFV,s, particularly the Sturmpanzerwagen, the FT-17 or the Saint Chamond. Fingers crossed!

Hi Karl,
Figure wise a new company to me, but probably known to figure builders is Model Cellar. They have a wide range of figures and busts and some neat looking 1/35 scale figures and accessories. The 2 British Sets are unavailable at the moment but I emailed Paul and he hopes to have them available again mid to late summer. Both British sets (2 figs each) look very good.

I've seen some of those figures sold elsewhere, didn't know the name of the company though- thanks for the link. I'd very much like them or Tommy's War to do a soldier from the Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers, that would be awesome.

Hi Karl,
If you like stand alone figures then Tommys War is the way to go, unless you want big scale.
Cheers

I haven't done a 54mm figure in a while now- the Tommy's War ones look good, I will probably go for one at some point.
Did you see this big scale release from Model Cellar:
It looks pretty good- have you ever done one of their busts?

Hi Karl,
Yes, Model Cellar have some fine busts. I've never done one, too many things in 1/35 scale going on. They have some 1/35 scale Tommies I'm interested in but they are OOP at the moment, although Paul say they might be available later in the year.
Cheers
