Thanks for the kind words Moni , to see it all I have a headset that magnifies by about 5 so it's pretty good

It's not that steady to be honest , I always have to touch up when I've painted a tiny piece lol

Nice work on the figures Alan, I've used the same set on my Tiger II; they're well detailed.

Cheers

Steadier than I could ever be well done now just 20 more to do, or are they only playing 5a side

They are very detailed Patrick I like the way the iron cross has a big outline so you can paint it

Well it's more like one a side with a neutral soldier as goalie

Looking very good so far Alan!

I think, here, the important are the figures....I don't know exactly if you will do a tank....my advice is to build a "simple thing" that don't take protagonism to them

Thanks polux accrual live got two panzer IVs I'm putting in it with 11 figures including a gendarme

Two iron pieces versus eleven persons!!!

I don't said nothing.... they win

Good luck with it Alan!!

Cheers tony I appreciate that , I cheat a bit when building figures I hurry the job along with a hair dryer

Looking very good also for me and I agree with Polux "the diorama wizard", keep it simple, leave the scene to the figures.

The tanks won't interfere with it too much francesco they will be in the background with the people In front they will be seen but the action is all from the figures as there will be civvies and a dog as well

 

[eddiesolo]

Nowt wrong with them there figures mate, look okay to me and nicely painted too.

Si

 

[Alan 45]

Cheers Si glad you like it

Errr...

I really like this diorama idea Alan!! So, I'm thinking about it like was mine

How about this?

You have eleven persons. What are they doing? Playing football, ok!!

When this happens? You have two tanks (P.IV), so is a war time...the second ww.

A diorama needs to show how many information better!!

You need the "where"

On a simple mud field. On a street, near a church. On a prisoners field like "evasion or victory".

Sorry if I'm turning bored....
