Thanks, Darren, for sharing that. I would like to see one of these "nice" cars in a diorama. I feel like unless you're doing the Fueher's 50th Birthday Parade, where would you use them? I bet Frenchy has some pictures of one of these covered in mud on the Russian front, LOL.

Not a muddy one, but still on the Russian front (Nagatkino, 1943) : Frenchy

I some old book on my shelf there is a picture of a group of German soldiers pushing and pulling to assist a Mercedes 540K over a difficult patch of, ahem, "road" somewhere in a forest (Poland 1939???). The "road" has been improved with logs and branches so maybe it was a ditch or small creek they were trying to cross. Civilian vehicles were commandeered and assigned to officers according to rank, "the bigger the brass the fancier the car" event if it meant that a general went to war riding a 540K which was completely and totally unsuitable to the "road" conditions in the east, but hey there were plenty of soldiers to push, pull or if necessary even carry the generals ride across the bad spots ;-) / Robin

I just like the aestetics (SP?) of this one; classic 1930s 1940s

2 more : Frenchy

That first image proves you can use different size if not different scale fgures together.
