Hi Piwi,
Excellent bit of work there. Simple, cleaver and with a nice touch of humour.
This one should bring a smile to anyones face
I think you've achieved a very natural and realistic setting and made excellent use of the kits you choose.
I like it a lot, brilliant and thanks for sharing.
Keith, thanks for posting the feature.
Cheers

It's a superb model. I this you've made a great job of the Verlinden kit, it looks very convinceing. The layout of the vehicles and figures is excellent, it tells the story very well and makes good, economic use of the space.
Two thoughts about things you might have done differently. Firstly I wonder if the vehicles, particularly the tyres should have a light coat of mud or dust. Secondly You often see ponds with longer grass or reed growth around the water's edge.
These are very minor points though - it really is a super piece of work and I enjoyed the article very much. Congratulations!

Nice one Piwi. Great use of all the items included. Apart from creating something different and fresh, its all well made and ties together beautifully.
The Verlinden building really sets the scene and provides an excellent background. The additions to the daimler is another impressive part of the scene.

Very nice job! I like it. One question though, shouldn't the washing machine be hooked to the rear tire? Does the jeep have front wheel drive ? I'm not too sure.

Hi all,
Sean I appreciate your ideas about the pound and the tyres.
Ken, I based my idea on this photo :
