Hi Ron Not the Messiah
I like your background painting. Looks good. A background for photographing models is something which sounds like a good idea but is very rarely done - hope it works :thumb2:

Thanks Rick.

Jim, "Hope it works".......so do I!
...but if it goes tits up, at least I will have tried.

Here's the Allied armour.
I dug it out of a box in the loft. Wonky track and all! Just an antenna to add, then it's near enough.
Apart from the placement of a few P.B.I., that's it for the players.


Just a bit of general fettling (Naughty fiddling, really!) left to do......

Cheers,
Ron

I knew it would happen! I'm committing the most cardinal of diorama making sins - FIDDLING!

So I've put my hands down and for better or for worse, the build is finished.

Thanks to my friends on the forum for all their most excellent posts. I really get the biggest of buzzes from reading your most kind and generous comments and suggestions.

Here is one picture of part of the finished scene. So far, this is the only one I've taken.


I will set to and snap me some more and post them in 'Dioramas Completed' Along with an explanation, asap.

Thanks again for all your support throughout this rather lengthy build.

Cheers,
Ron

Thanks Paul.
Let's hope it doesn't rain in these parts, then I can get outside in the natural light.

Even that one photo brings the atmosphere in, looking forward to seeing the rest :thumb2:

Thanks chaps.
I'll try and take the shots today, but the weather is a bit naff.

Wonderful work Ron, an inspiration to us all.

Andy.

Thanks Andy.
Plenty of inspiration for us all from members on Scale Models, that's for sure!

That photo looks fantastic Ron, I've enjoyed watching this come together & the jokes & banter.

Thanks Graeme. Glad you've enjoyed both the build and the utter nonsense I've had to endure during the making of the model.....
