Superb, Jim. What's the hardware? - looks like an 88 mounted on a Russian tank superstructure, but I'm no expert.

Hell of a lot of detail in this. The posing of the superbly done figures is perfect, brings it all to life. Very good.

Jim
Very nice build great attention to detail I love the guy sat on the truck front he has typical clothing worn on the russian front and has a great expression of wishing he was somwhere else very difficult to get humour into figures but you have managed that to perfection

Regards

That Jim, is superb, so much to take in. Yet at the same time not over done.

Cracking all round build.

Very nicely done Jim, it has that very realistic feel of wartime, warts & all.

The 88 mounted on the KV chassis is excellent as are the figures. I recognise a few of them from the Tamiya Flakvierling crew & German soldiers at rest.

Thanks so much for your kind words Ron, glad you like it, I did take your advice and broke up wall edges a bit, I thank you for your help.........Jim

I did notice Jim, but thought it polite for me not to mention my involvement - But now you have, it was a pleasure to help......

What's next from you, any plans?

 

[Guest]

Yes I do like it. Nice use of space & balance with plenty to for the viewer to study. The platform on the tank deck is something that I would never thought of.

Thanks Patrick, I did see an old pic years ago of such a conversion and it stuck with me until I finally scratched up one, glad you like it......Jim

Hard to say Ron, I do have my other two FLAK conversions to roll out, sans base. Since they are 90% complete I will have to start dreaming up another dio, but as of now I haven't
the foggiest what it might be I have come to the conclusion that all future dios will be of smallish dimensions, vignettes if you will, no bigger than this one about.
Space limitations and the Missus demand it

 

[Guest]

Oh my! That is superb. I'm having a wee break, recovering from a nasty illness and other stuff, but I have started my LRDG dio - seeing this has given my mojo a nudge. Nice one Jim!
