Just wanted to post up a few pics of my first model/ figures/ dio I've done in YEARS.
It will get better with more practice.... I have plenty more vehicles, figures and ideas for diorama's.
This is not completed yet but here's a few pics.
Steyr 1500 with a squad of SS Pioneers armed with Bangalore torpedo's receiving instructions from an officer where to blow a hole in the barbed wire.
Scratch built storage box.
Also scratch built wine bottles.
Scratch built headphones and mic using plastic bits and thin copper wire.

Hi there,
Love how you painted the camo uniforms, if they were any better we'd have trouble seeing the model what's the best way for a beginner to do something similar?
Keep up the good work!

I love the soldier on the ground with the MP-40 slung on his back, great camouflage job and facial painting. The wood grain on the scratch-built storage box is super. I can't spot much I could improve on; maybe some "dirt" on the floor of the vehicle. Impressive job!
Take care,
Don "Lakota"

Very Well Done. I like the vehicle interior as well as the Excellent Camo Paint on the figures.

The figures look very natural. I've attempted and failed at that very same camo pattern. You have pulled it off quite well. I could go on, but I would have only positive things to say right down to the last blade of grass.

Hello Gary,
You have built an excellent diorama! All the elements come
together and compliment each other.
Excellent painting and ground work.
My only observation is the soldier with the grenades strapped
to his back....that could be very dangerous.
Cheers,
Joe
