1/87 Tigers on the Prowl

[Mini Me]

Love the improvements you are making to the farm.......Just spitballin' here, how about a country lane, sorta like two dirt tracks with a little grass growing in the middle? BTW, did the well in the courtyard come with the farm or is that something you added, source?

[minitnkr]

Thank you gentlemen.
Yeah Allen, the RR ate up a lot more than I expected. Thought I had another box of Sedum armatures. Not so.
Rick, that was my thought as well. Sorry, the source is lost, it did not come with the either Airfix farm.

I shall have to go hunting.....the pic. I have for ref. Shows a fountain.... I'm thinking a well would be more useful to a field Hospital.

Some more gardening

More needed here

I'd like the coverage to equal Ostwinds "E" & "H"

[Mini Me]

That is looking great Paul....the side road is as I envisioned one would look........just right. :thumb2:

I'm a bit slow on the up take with this one Paul, considerable work and workmanship gone into this already.
Loving it
Cheers Rob

Hi Paul
Great stuff so far! This diorama has to go down as one of the biggest on this site. How big do you plan to go? Pretty soon you’ll have a scale model of the whole of Normandy!!!!

It is nice to see a model where the vehicles exist in a landscape - gives a completely different perspective on things. At this scale realistic tank engagements could take place.
Nice work
Paul

Thanks guys.
Working on Mini Me donated Ford Funker & upgrading a Tiger I to later suspension.

[Mini Me]

Looking good Paul.....what track set are you using? Don't appear to be Heiser's.

[Tim Marlow]

Excellent stuff going on here. Love the way the flak elements blend in to the landscape.

[minitnkr]

Thank you gentlemen.
Dunno Rick, mustagotitina grab bag. Was the lower hull, rear plate & suspension/tracks shown of a partial Tiger I resin kit. Can't get Heiser anything anymore.
Just have a little more paint & gardening to do. Here's Rick's funker.
