Excellent dio Brian, this is very humourous! Poor little dog, knows he's done bad, love how his head's hanging while getting scolded. And as with everyone his buddy is laughing at him for stepping in the doo doo! Like how you chipped up the flooring where the tank has come into the shop, it's weird seeing a clean tank but it looks great. Workshop tools, everything ties together perfectly, well done!

Great dio Brian, you have a keen attention to detail, ie, the scuffed garage floor, the metal shavings around the drill press and the oil can stains on the workbenches. Thanks for sharing.

That looks really good Brian. I was particularly impressed with the pillar drill. It just looks so realistic. I work in a workshop (busses) and your attention to detail is excellent.
Cheers

Very interesting dio. Pretty simple Layout but that shows that it does not have to be complicated to tell a good story.
Really good looking Aber set.

Congratulations

A very original diorama and very well executed.

Only thing that bugs me is the name, Achdung.

Is this an intended pun or....?

Thanks Herbert - yes the title is a poor pun as in "What did the German Paratrooper say when he landed in a cow flop.....?"
