Much better than anything i can do, that much is sure. Awesome work so far!

While some scenes in 'Patton' were shot in N Africa, according to IMDB the African locations were Algeria and Morocco. I'd therefore be wary of taking that as a primary source for evidence of anything in the area where the DAK actually operated.

Cool Tom , ........... in an arid hot deserty way .

How hot is it Glenn ..........
Why it's so hot the fleas are carrying canteens !!!

Very cool once again , your use of cake tier columns worked nicely .

hey guys,
Things moving slowly.Doing small details and getting distracted with other builds.Still waiting for 2 final kits.
A very short update.Back soon.Thanks for looking.

Tom

Looking great, nice foliage too...and the heavy AA gun in the 2nd pic down on the right!

Thanks guys,
Should be done by next weekend.
Try to get some good outside photos before the snow really comes.
Tim,Love your sense of humor.And a damn good eye for things.

Tom

Lookin' great Tim, I'll be following the progress.

Regards Dave

Considering done.
Probably add some more stowage and weapons,small details.

Thanks for looking and Happy Holidays.

Tom


Sorry for the repeats.Damn PB again.

Amazing development here!
This has turned into an awesome diorama!

Fantastic finale Tom – you have the knack of leading the eye round and around & each time something new seems to materialise. Great set-design/stage management/figure interaction, busy yet somehow not overcrowded - a fine balance. I’d only whisper the vehicles look a tad too clean but hey maybe they just came off the boat at Tripoli! Worth photographing in bright sunshine (especially those perfect low-down/ground-level angles)...when you next get some

Very well done scene, Tom! I'm impressed at how you get all those figures involved in the action. Even though they're doing different things, the overall scene gives a sense of working towards a common goal.

Thanks a lot guys.
The photos don't show much dirt on the anything.Won't get good outside pics now till spring,getting a couple of inches of snow right now.
I'm a sucker for punishment.Not good at painting figures,but seem to like adding them.The one thing I strive for is for them to interact and make sense.
Still have Egypt ready to go,but have been caught up on a dock scene I've been working on.
If you see "Dockside" in the posts,it's me AGAIN.
All the best to all for the New Year and hope Santa fills your stash list.

Tom

I agree with everyone. This has really turned into quite the scene and all this stuff here would take me a good 5 years to build ! Nice work !
J

Thanks Jerry,
It would take you 5 years because of your great detail work.
Wish I had your talent for figures.

Tom

Congrats Tom, nice job!
I enjoy the sheer amount of items (figures, vehicles, etc) you've pulled together.All framed by the ancient columns.
Sort of a desert rendezvous.

Cheers
Dave
