Hey all,
This has been an on and off project for quite awhile.
Been trying to do an old sailing ship for a friend.Takes a ton of time and I will never touch one again,but I've become addicted to it to finish it.
Anyway,I would say this is 3/4 done.I found the Miniart US troops at rest a little under scale,but I do like them.

Very nice, especially the church, if I can only 2 notes, the door is missing the keystone, so 'everything would collapse and in Italy the cemeteries are separated from the church, the church is occasionally to the side but do not find tombs so' externally , you can find them inside for important people, in northern Europe you can find like that or maybe the border areas with Austria, the cemetery is often at the entrance of the town, instead the church is in the middle usually, if it is directly a side the Church and the cemetery are however divided by a wall.

Really nice scenario, Tom! Is the church from a kit or did you scratch it? Once again, I'm impressed at how you manage to get multiple figures to be involved in the scene. Even the guys outside in the vehicles, who aren't doing anything, look like they're involved in doin' nuthin.

Yes, very well done but a comment I made for other diorama's seems to apply here as well.

The scenery looks a s if someone cleaned it all up after the bulding was shot to pieces. When you shoot a whole chrch or chapel to bits then there must be significant piles of rubble, probably larger than the vehicles.

Hi guys,
Been awhile.This was a project on the side while working on others.
The church was an old Verlinden kit.I miss them.
Just added the light,troops and some more weathering.
Found images of grave yards beside the church.
VICIOUS you can make it France if you like?
Yes the yard is cleaned up.The first priority for town people is to clean their church as must as possible.
