Hi Costas,
Sorry for the late response....What a magnificent job you did on this one!!
Specially the true story behind this scene is fascinating. I like all the small details, like the kids playing, and the kitty who can't tell good from bad,
also the balance between the serious matter which the Germans investigate, and the dreamy atmosphere of the little flowers and the tree is striking!!
This is a true gem, congrats...John.

That's a great story about the kids playing tricks on the Germans. Your dio certainly captures that playful attitude

Thanks a lot guys. I have loved working in this dio , so much that i didnt want it to finish. Mixing civilian and military themes is so interesting and challenging. I ll be up again with some stuff like that in some time i believe. Really thanks for your encouragement as i have the power to do more and better .

I'm late again to join the bandwagon but nevertheless, Costas its another fantastic dio from you. I really enjoy non-combat dios coz for me they really display creativity and the ability to tell a story without the action.
The road brickwork and the cat really does it for me as their great touches to already excellent dio. Keep up the eye candy.

Very Very nice Costas, I am impressed with everything about this dio. The theme is certainly original and gives us a glimpse into a different part of war. Figures steal the show and this is no exception, your figures are great I particularly like the the "rascal" boys (from part1). The flora & fauna is so life like and completes this dio so well , I love the big tree.
I see a winner here!
