So small yet the detail is brilliant, very enjoyable following Paul .
I always thought that moving an army is a nightmare for logisticians, and your diorama shows it perfectly.
Great modelling job Paul. :thumb2:

Thanks guys
I think not as it's resin Rick , maybe Wespe. I do have a GHQ version, but it is in metal, and I haven't mustered the courage to build it yet.
The General's biggest job, although some left it entirely to staff Andrea.

Working 204E 1st & 2nd Pltns. Some real wood joinery for JR.:smiling2:
Because it's a specialist job while they are just... generals. :tongue-out3:
Excellent work mate, as already has been said magic in miniture. I did notice though the fith photo (#108) it looks like a wheel hub cover has come adrift.
Thanks guys.
Sharp eye Scottie, Prolly when I tapped the tire/wheel assy. onto the axle a little too aggressively. Will remedy, thank you.

204E Co. A Pltn. supply trucks getting ready for paint. These early ROCOs are pretty needy as they were not very accurate, but had good tires & were pretty cheap. I've used them as the US Army engineering multi-purpose GMCs along with the purpose built dump GMCs to populate my WWII US Combat Engineers.
That would have been the best solution Rick, but I've moved the cab & bed back as far as I can to at least alleviate the situation partially.
Here's a pic of the 1/87 GHQ dozer. Someday I'll take it on. Great detail.
Thanks guys, here's the 1st & 2nd Pltn. of 204E, Co.A helping 7E Co. C with transporting pontoons.
It was common practice to inflate & assemble pontoons offsite when the site was under observation to reduce exposure to enemy fires.
Next up, 23rd Armored Infantry Battalion HQ section.

As always Paul your dios are just so full of detail and interest. Truly first class work from the Braille Scale Master.
Thanks guys.
Due to Neil Merryweather's delivery of 1/87 scale gas & water jerrycans I'll need to reevaluate those on the trucks portrayed in this thread. You'll notice that each platoon was equipped with two 30cal. & one 50cal. mgs & each squad truck was equipped with a #1 crated carpenter tool set, attached #1 pioneer tool set, a #1 demo pkg. & a bazooka. The crated items were loaded into the platoon supply truck if additional squad space was needed where a #3 pioneer tool set, a #3 carpenter tool set, #2 demo set, & a mine detector were carried. Where & how many gas & water jerrycans is unclear.
