my mojo for large exspancive dios is a little low at the moment so I have decided to do more vignettes so I have decided to do a little market garden dio with these

I have altered a British paratrooper figure and I shall replace the German so it adds a little bit of a bit of realism to the scene

Looks like a good one Alan, the figures go together really nicely so does the kubelwagon.

Cheers guys , I was going to use the kuble for a maintenance scene , I've got an little engine I built that I could have popped in the back , I couldn't find a German ambulance unless I was going pay the earth for a resin one but I did find some Red Cross decals so I found an ambulance

 

[geegad]

looking forward to seeing what you do

 

[Guest]

I love the little vignettes!!


Nice idea and subjects.


Which one will be the size...?

 

[Alan 45]

Cheers guys I'm hopping to do a little field with just the kuble and the figures from the box I'm thinking of setting it in the oosterbiek area , the German 6th ss panzer division had surrounded the main British force in the oosterbiek are stopping them from getting to Arnhem to support major Jonny frosts group who were also surrounded ,


10,000 British 1st airborne parashooted into the Arnhem area and less than 2,000 returned
