Hi,

It will be my first desert diorama. Chevrolet 1533X2 30cwt with Flak 30 in german service. There will be some extra Black Dog accesories.

Looks good, but does Black Dog really believe that flat piece can sit on that column without falling down? They weren't attached in any way, they just rested on top. Your SAS might get crushed!!

You know, I bet that piece is meant to be on the ground, kind of lean on the steps or summat', to suggest an past collapse. I say that because of the piles of rubble on top which suggests it fell and more stuff came down on it. The guy who did the box cover probably was not the guy who designed the piece.

I've been thinking of getting the Dragon kit so I'll keep a watch on what you do here. It looks like a great start.

As for the stone slab, the steps look good and it would be a shame to cover them up. I'd either cut the slab in half or leave it out entirely.

In my opinion, BD set presents the piece of the construction...




Resin wheels prepared before assembly process...


Almost ready for the painting stage. Need more bags, jerry cans, towels, boxes and other stowage accesories.

Hi Mateusz,
the SAS Chevrolet is on my to build-list too. So I am watching with interest. Progress looks promising so far.

Happy modelling.
