FOr the most part. I dont have the time to finish the interior so I just have the wallpaper on it. Maybe I'll finish it some other time, who knows. Its hard to see the shattered glass in the windows because of the white backdrop. Wish I was a better photographer. I think I'm gonna add some sort of German vehicle to go with those Waffen SS troops.

I hope you guys like it!

That looks fantastic, Paul! Is that the DML set of Kampfgruppe Hansen? The posters and street signs are a nice touch and the figs look excellent. Personally think you should scatter some rubble out onto the street on the left as it looks a bit bare and unnatural.

Great stuff overall.

Yeah... go ahead and add the vehicle! Otherwise it'll be a waste to have such a huge space by the side. Very nice job on the whole diorama you have there Paul. Nice building, nice figure painting... with the vehicle in... it's going to be an awesome France diorama.. do keep us updated.

Wow this is very nice, I do hope you get a chance to finish it in the future. A vehicle would definitely work great in this. What figs did you use they are great and very well done I would like to say. Congrats on the fine build. Cheers Kevin

Hmmm....very beautiful diorama. As mentioned by others, a vehicle would definitely complete the picture..even a motorcycle with siedecar would do, but something bigger would be better.

Cheers

I'd add something on the side there, but not anything to large, maybe a kublewagan (sp?) or the like so as to not distract from the rest of the scene and cove up that nicely done crater.

Thanks for the kind words and helpful ideas! A BMW w/sidecar and Kubelwagen are both great ideas, now to decide which one! Can anyone receommend a good quality model kit of both?

After giving it some more thought, I think a motorcycle with sidecar is just what this dio needs. Suggestions?

Tapper, nice dio.

i think a motorcycle with side car will add a nice touch! Although a kubel also work best..

btw, is that figures from DML Ambush at Poteu set? I love the cammo job on the uniform. Well done

Hey tapper!
For your sidecar, I wouldn't go past the old Italeri BMW/sidecar... It is a lovely lil kit and with some added wire for cables would look a treat... Cheap too!

Tapper, Photobucket is locking everyone out, even trying to link directly. Can you post the pictures a Armorama?

What the......??

The two pics I posted as well as 7 other pics have been deleted from my Photobucket folder? I just came to check this thread for the first time since I posted it and wondered where my pics went! I'll have to post them up again for you guys. Sorry about that.

Good news! There seem to be a lot of people whose interest has been caught by this one. Of course, now that you have built up our expectations, it had better be good! :-)
