Thanks guys for looking in ,
* Nick , thank you so much for the kind words it is always a pleasure to read your analysis about my stuff. Indeed, i think that we share the same way of making a diorama ...meaning a very large part is pure knowledge but the other part is experimenting and see where it leads ....sometimes it's like searching for a needle inside a haystack and get out with the farmer's daughter
Thanks again !
*Paul , no problem ! You are right again , the Sherman was hit on the dirt road and because the crew didn't see where the shot came from and apparantly thought they were sitting ducks , the tank commander ordered the driver to get in to the trees hoping for a better shooting position . Unfortunately , the tank was hit in the left track and by the time they reached the trees they were completely immobile. So indeed i have to make some tracks in the forrest ground.
When i made my first diorama and showed the progress on the net , a Dutch modeller gave me the advice to place everything in an other angle in comparison with the sides of the base board . It would give the scene a better impact and it would look more interesting to the spectator. That was a Golden tip !
So from then on i always take the advice of a modeller from Holland in serious consideration
*Jerry , yes i liked it too, but it's better for the story that way !
