Looking very good. It's great to see some civilian figures. It's not often we see that. What brand are the civilian figures?

I think the figures are...MK35 / Custom Diorama figures....but I'm not sure!
Very good looking dio! I hope to build a dragon wagon myself once too!

Thanks, guys. I've been messing with this thing on and off for about four years. I decided to finish it up this winter.
Cliff: That's a Matchbox 1/32nd Citroen Legere. It was originally built for a much smaller dio involving Maquis resistance fighters. Unfortunately, it was dropped and stepped on during a move. I hung onto the parts and used them to create a wrecked car fo this dio.
Dave: I have an old barrister-style book case -- it fits perfectly into it. You can see the under-construction dio in the middle unit.
Jesper and Martin: The majority of the civilian figures are from Custom Dioramics. The little guy leading the horse is Monty from Tamiya's "Famous Generals" set with a new head (from Warriors I think). The horse is from Dragon's Florian Geyer set, as the resin horse that came with the wagon wasn't in a pose I needed.
The "lady in red" that Engin finds charming is the body from the old Italeri Schwimmwagen set with the most effeminate head I could find and Apoxie Sculpt hair. I was pretty happy with the results, but my daughters say "she" looks like a cross-dresser.
The buildings are Verlinden and Custom Dioramics with lots of scratch additions and modifications. Sharp-eyed viewers might recognize Faust's commercial posters in the shop, and the Garage sign from Roadkill's site. Also, look above the door of the ruined bar and you'll see a black cat made from Milliputt -- it's modeled after my wife's cat, Moki, who also seems to remain aloof no matter what is going on around her...

Looks great. I admire the attention to detail that you put into this dio. Everything seems to fit perfectly.
