discussion 'THANK GOD WE'RE NOT IN ARMOUR...'

[eddiesolo]

American troops in a now secure area come across a destroyed Churchill tank.

They remember a joke between the infantry and armoured:

Infantry: "You wouldn't catch me in one of those tin cans."

Armoured: "You wouldn't catch me on foot, all exposed."

This time the infantry take time to reflect on this joke and take thanks that they weren't in a tin can.

Great stuff as per upto your usual great finish love it, I have noticed models always, and I mean always look so much better when set in a dio, not that yours wasnt great before but the dio gives it another dimension.

Just when you think you have absorbed it all you see the helmet sat on the grave marker and it makes you stop and think again. Great diorama that can do that Si. Well thought out and executed.

I agree Ken, it can open up more for the modeler and also for people who look at them. I find that when I have showed my models, people tend to look and move away from a stand-alone model but come in closer and have a good look when it is boarded and in a setting. More for them to see and more interesting.
