Liberation, Italy 1944
Thanks Gentlemen... very kind. Anyway...I will get back to the landscape very soon, but first I have to get a move on with my figures. This is the pair who will be seen walking off the left-hand side of the diorama. As discussed above, they are a modified from a set by Corsar Rex. Both heads...- TIM FORSTER

Liberation, Italy 1944
Thanks for all your kind words... I've been doing bits and pieces all over the place in recent weeks. Here is a shot which shows progress so far - it should make a good companion to the image at the top of this post. Only the Topolino is permanently fixed in place at this stage. Also the...- TIM FORSTER

Liberation, Italy 1944
Well, despite my 'army' of figures on display in my last post, I decided that one more was needed. Since my two German vehicles were abandoned, it seemed a shame not to have any figures in the Carrier. Figures in vehicles help to give a sense of purpose and scale. Plus, someone pointed out to...- TIM FORSTER

Liberation, Italy 1944
The cast assemble... Here are my figures assembled. It's all looking a bit ghoulish with the sombre colour palette and some of them with detached hands and heads. So far they have received a dark base coat, a basic highlight and a basic flesh tone and highlight - all applied with the airbrush.- TIM FORSTER

Liberation, Italy 1944
Thanks gents. After a couple of weeks busy elsewhere I have managed to get back to Italy, 1944. First of all the sunflowers have spread - a little like Triffids! I wasn't happy with the colour of the leaves which, despite airbrushing them with various shades of green, still looked too...- TIM FORSTER

Interesting colour image from the Italian Campaign - but what is the AFV?

Help wanted with markings for Mk.II Universal Carrier in Italy
Hello all, I am hoping that the combined brain power of this site can help where mine is clearly lacking... As some may have seen, I am building a diorama (1/35) set in Italy in late 1944. The setting is a village 'somewhere north of Rome' (although the Allies had moved quite a way north since...- TIM FORSTER

I suspect some of my story will be familiar to many on this site. Born in ’68 I started out with Airfix planes and Matchbox tanks before – at the tender age...- TIM FORSTER
