[Steven]

progress so far:
do pardon the oor llighting - the bloody thing is too tall to fit under my workbench lights

 

[Steven]

Finally done reabring the sections pew,
Some shots of the larger building trial placed on the plate.
Still some things to do i.e battle damage to the front corner of the facade and, oh yeah, the REALLY interesting part: Anchoring this top- heavy 4- pounder (yes despite all efforts, to keep weight down, it all adds up does it not?) securely to the base .- not looking forward to that.....

A hard decision....

Hello all hope you are all well

Mounting the larger building to the base showed a slight but visible slant backwards. I had to make the hard decision to abandon the idea of mounting it properly to the current base. So, the decision was made to make the BMP and larger building into a new, separate diorama. I will leave this thread for now and pick it up in September and concentrate on finishing the current base with one building and the zu 23 technical and some figures as well as the improvised mortar.
This diorama with a new story will be entered into competition in September and October. Details can be found Here and I hope you will pop by to chat and add comments.

Oh this is just fantastic Steven, I don't know how I missed this in June.
Super epic stuff!
