Hi all this will be a long project.it be a german colum heading home from the western front.my intensions for this is to be at least 6 vehicles in length, built with diarama.I'm starting with the famo and 88.got tiger an panther on order.the others yet to decide.be work it out as go along project.all though it involves many builds I put it here to start.but hoping it will stay here as is all one project.something I have had in me mind for long time.cheers and happy moddelling mick.

Ooh I will be watching this with interest.Are you doing it as a winter scene after the battle of the Bulge or after the end of the war?

I love snowy dioramas, but it is so hard to get the snow to look good-At least in my hands

Looking forward to seeing this come together!

Hi all made small start on this with assembly of the 88 base.the brass etch went ok as it first time used the stuff .an will look fine under paint.I hope.the arms are moveable. So will be in upright position for towing.enjoying this.cheers and happy moddelling mick.

Etch is looking good!!

Hi thanks for all looking in and your kind comments. A bit more progress on the 88.this a fiddly Lil kit with many little parts.but I like fiddly.just the etch shield for gun, then it onto the bogies.diorama will be 6 ft long 18 inches wide.be granite cliffs as back drop ill start this next month, so not all vehicles all time.cheers and happy moddelling mick.

Looks great and the famo kit with etch is a cracker. Will enjoy this one.

Bakeing powder works a treat for snow or frost

Very nice work on the 88mm, glad to see more military stuff being built!

Hi all thanks for every one who left comments, they much appreciated. Anyhow done bit more on the 88.gun bin painted it's basic grey colour.then I applied a very thin black wash all over it to dirty it up a bit.and then dry brushed to bring out some detail.be some dirt and rust applied next.an pick few bits out how I feel bout it.think ill be doing a mud road on diarama, but ill do the vehicles mud, when set them on road.and a start to the bogies.finding I really enjoy the etch.but need to invest in bender, make life easier than doin it with various knife blades.that it for now.cheers and happy moddelling mick.

Really coming along nicely Mck!

I will echo Andy's comment, a good etch folding tool is invaluable. I have this one http://www.scalemodelsho...ld-the-small-shop.html, it's a little pricey but big enough to cover all eventualities. There re smaller ones available on the same site. I wouldn't be without mine now.
