discussion col68's panzer laager dio (Terrys dio GB)

[col68]

Hi all this is my next entry in Terrys GB.
The idea is to show a mixed unit of the German rearming and carrying out repairs in the closing days of the war I haven't decided on a location yet as I'm still carrying out research I really like the idea of a forest clearing but there again a farmyard would let me try and scratch some buildings any ideas or opinions would be gratefully accepted.
Here is some of the kits I intend to use.

with a maintenance giving the engine,a look over,and the others,restocking,
the shells,as the crew have a rest from fighting,and just look on,

Hi all while waiting for paint to dry on other kits I started to work on figures for the duo unfortunately I forgot to take pictures so here's what I have gotten to. They are from tamiya the flesh has been primed with tamiya flat flesh then painted with oils.

Great idea Colin, you will find as you go that many sub-ideas will come out of main theme, you will know which ones strike your fancy then just go with them.
That to me is the wonders of dio building, they almost seem to evolve on their own. I'll be watching
