Keeping it light under pressure.



I was just being silly I hope you're not offended. Its sure a beautiful piece. It really conveys the pressure they must have been under which is exactly when something like what I did would come out to relieve that pressure. At least that's the way it was on the team that I was on. We never let gloom and doom get the best of us. It remained positive until the game was over either by capture or victory. The only problem is, I can't forsee how you'd convey that to the viewers without words in this particular scene.

It may sound to cheesy after Arnolds movie succes, but the retrteating Para's left a message on a school blackboard in Oosterbeek , 'we'll be back..'

Cheers

I do not have a suggestion for atitle. Just wanted to comment on what is shaping up to be an outstanding piece of work. Amazing!

EasyOff, you gave me a good laugh buddy. That was hilarious. im gonna be laughin about this all day. Thanks for the laugh bro. :-)

TOKE, I can give you another couple of idea ideas that I hope will help you: "Long Live the Red Devils" or "Near the Endless Road". Or even one I've just remebered now "Like Cornered Mice"!
Hoping I have helped you in some way!
Cheers and happy modeling!

Hallå där en svensk! Jäkligt häftigt diorama det kommer att bli!

Thank you all once again!

Henk.
In my mind the setting is the outbreak attempt to reach Oosterbek and now theyre cornered on the first or second floor of a privat building. At least they know the Jerries is down below perhaps above?
Hollywood would have stated "The true store" where Im more humble and say "loosly based on real events with some artistic licence". The building is more or less done. Ill soon put on the primer.

Easyoff!
That was really funny :-)
By the way, were do you live?
Nah just kidding.

And once again thanks for all the nice comments.

Jepp, Erik!
En som talar och skriver gudarnas och hjältarnas språk. Tack för komplimangen.

What about:
"Digbys dash"?
"-Jerrys in the house!"?

i think this is perfect for this dio.....


"Home sweet home"

How about:

Next time, watch the weatherforecast and take your gun instead, sir..

A bit too long eh?

-Cloudy days-

Perhaps...
Nice dio, looking forward to seeing it finished
Cheers

The guy in the corner says:

I just saved a lot on my car insurance by switching to Geico.

"Bringing your umbrella to a combat zone..... priceless". lol

:-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) !!!!!!!!!!

How about " Eye of the storm"

Before I write down my twisted idea for a title, I must say something else first.

I'm really impressed with this diorama. I love to model scenes from the "Battle for Arnhem", but this one is excellent...a very good composition and most excellent detailing while scratchbuilding.... I want to see more of this Toke !!

Perhaps I can persuade you to write an article about it some day. I really would love to have that on our site.

Now about the title... I was thinking something like "C'mon...One Last Whoa Mahommed Guys..."

Whoa Mahommed (or Whoa Mohammed) was the battlecry of the British Paratroopers from the 2nd Battalion that fought at the Bridge. Each time they had to attack in a man to man situation, they cried "Whoa Mahommed"... Their bloody, dirty appearance and their battle cries scared the living daylights out of the Germans.

Just my two cents.

And don't forget to present us more pics from this excellent work !!

Hows about "stairway to heaven"

For an Arnhem diorama, that might be changed to "stairway to hell"...

Thanks for all the suggestions.
Problem is that Ive gotten more uncertain about the title cause of the many good suggestions.

Ill have to think it over some more.
By the way Danny?
Shouldnt it be; Mohammed or was it really Mahommed?

What you guys think about:
House disturbance complaint(call). ?

Thanks

I just saw a post, Against all Odds, to me, that describes exactly what you said they were up against.

TOKE what figure sets did you use?

Ive used this set from Cromwell Models.

Toke,

it's a question that comes up each time. I asked different people and it appears to be "Whao Hahommed" in Arab and "Whoa Mohammed" in the western world, so it's used both ways actually.

how about something that uses the famous or some say imfamous british understatement....


as in... maybe

hmm

"in a bit of a spot"

"we seem to have found a tad of trouble lads"

"not quite the holiday we envisioned"

"do you supose the jerries have good tea?"

btw great looking dio so far.....

I like this one, but what about "A Tight Spot", which reflects the soldiers' difficult combat situation and the "tight" pose of the figures in the dio?

Since the guy with the umberella is the "quirk" and obviously needing a British stiff upperlip type title how about:
German reign stops play,
or
The British umberella failed to stop the German reign.

Cheers
Robbo.

P.S. Let us now what you pick for the title and keep us updated.

Still like " RIDERS ON THE STORM " another 2 cts. - Cheyenne
