G'day Jenny
Looking really good so far, will there be both the Germans and an Allied force represented, or purely Germans?
What vehicles do you plan to use?
Cheers, keep us posted.

Some project, Jenny!
You mentioned that it would show German engineers blowing the bridge, but I assume you mean wiring it to blow?
Best of luck with it, and keep those pics rolling in

Hello Jenny ,
The Halftrack is a Dragon Sd Kfz 251/7 Ausf D 3in1 set up as a command version .
Gee I really love the hole you drilled in the pylon . NOT .
What I didn't tell was that there are only 3 centre pylons used in the diorama & as you said yourself , We used 2 sets . LOL . :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-)
Love Richie

He means that you have a total of 4 pylons ( Pylons? is that what they call brigde supports in the colonies? ) but you will only use three. So you have one spare. Or not anymore as it goes.. .

Cheers

Shaping up nicely,
simply remove the offending support, remove the offending dowels, and refill holes.....

Looking good so far, keep us posted.

Quoted Text

....... The Rails appear fairly warped but Richie says to put them in boiling water , then bend them ! ...


Oh no not boiling water...if you do that then the Germans would not have anything to blow... :-) :-) :-) . Just warm water will do...

BTW, nice dio project....keep us updated...

Cheers
