Enjoy viewing!

the german dio looks good but the signs are wrong for it maybe change them over to ones depicting use in Russia

Super. Vanwat zijn die struiken gemaakt?

hiya falcon one little suggestion maybe you can put the germans by the sign behind the tank so they have cover

other then that wicked dio and keep up the good work.


and to translate the question of wezz. "what material did you use to make the bushes?"

This guy is a collector and buys the completed models from a modeller. So I guess he can't give an answer to your questions guys.

well wouter he could move the figures now can't he #:-)

It's not correct to say that I buy finished models because I buy armors
and figures, decide what armor goes with what figure and outsource
modeling services. My modeler is only a phone call away, so whatever
your question is I can call him up for instant answer.

Zer0co0l, thanks for your translation of Wezz's question. Please tell him
that the bush in the diorama was made of artificial plants my modeler bought
from a store. This kind of thing is frequently seen in scale building display by
real estate dealers and land developers. (Telling you the truth, first I thought
it was made of "Scotchbrite" - a synthetic material used in dish washing).

As for the dio, since I didn't mention the location so the signs are not wrong,
the battlefield could be just anywhere from France to Russia, and since there
are no enemies in sight, the soldiers need not take a cover. ;-)
I cannot move the figures because doing so may damage the surface of the dio.
Thanks for all your guys' comments and compliments anyway.

BTW, I'd been in the Netherlands for 5 months in 1983 (Living in Den Haag and
studying at RVB Delft). From there I went sight-seeing in Luxemburg, Belgium
and Germany. After more than 2 decades, I'm going to Europe again next week
(by course of government job) but this time to Spain only. And today there's
a news on 4 bombs in Madrid leaving 130+ people dead.
