Hi Guys, I finally have gotten started with my project for this Campaign. I have been working on the figs for a little while now and have finally gotten them primed. My idea for the diorama I will be doing is a knocked out sherman with a german recon patrol and tank crew checking it out looking for fuel and what ever goodies they can find. Well enough about the dio, you will see whats in store for that as this project progresses. Here are a few pics of the primed figs. Hope you enjoy. Cheers Kevin

I see some familiar figures there....
Good start, you've picked out some nice figures!
I can also recommend the dml volksgrenadiers, but don't forget the tristar grenadiers! They're absolutely beautifull!
Greetings

Kevin -
Great choice and an excellent looking set of figures that should compliment your diorama idea outstandingly. I agree that the newer DML figure sets are truly worth the purchase and great to have that quality to offset the total resin figure approach. I'm using the DML Fallschirmjager and SS grenadiers in my Ardennes project with some selected Warrior figures added to give more "action" posses. Anxious to see this develop.

Hi guys, thanks for the comments. Keith I think this dio will be at least 11x14 inches. I havent decided on the otehr german tank that will be on it. Was thinking of a tamiya KT but with the time restraint off may do a panterh or a hetzer on it. I will keep you posted. cheers Kevin
