Here is a little diorama I built using the Bronco Jeep with 6pdr and the Tamiya Airborne figures with Welbikes.

Hi Kevin - very nice indeed! Even down to the subtle touches, I like your weathering of the road surface - dust on the edges, clean on the crown.
Cheers

Very well done! Each figure looks like he belongs where you placed him and doing what he's supposed to be doing in the scene. One could visualize this group moving thru the outskirts of Arnhem.

Hi Kevin,

may I join the gentlemen above in their appreciation of your work!

I love your palette!! Very harmonious!

Brilliant composition too!

So apart from the topic (which is about my m8s), I enjoy the rendering a bunch!!

Thanks for making my day!

Cheers

Romain

Great work! I envisioned something similar but never got past the planning stage, I think yours turned out better than mine would have.

Kevin,

I meant to ask: Did you scratch-build the base?

Nice subject. Right on time for me as I am reading the book "It Never Snows in September" for about the 6th time.
Great set-up in your dio.

No, it is a Reality in Scale resin base with a couple MiniArt bits(fence and bench), just have to paint.

@all - thanks for the great comments.

Nice job Kevin.
I have the exact same kits waiting for a dio.
Luckily I pictured mine going by a farm scene.
How did you like the Bronco build?Mine was a lot of trouble.My 6 pdr is actually semi covered because I couldn't get a lot of the fit to work.

I found that the kit went together rather well, here is my build log. The only finicky part I found was the mounting of the shield.
