PlaStix Posted September 30, 2014 Author Share Posted September 30, 2014 But you forgot to thank me for giving you the initial idea in the first place hehe That is very true!!! And I do apologise!! You are quite correct - it was seeing the base for your Typhoon that inspired this - so a BIG THANK YOU to Kallisti for the inspiration!

PlaStix Posted October 1, 2014 Author Share Posted October 1, 2014 (edited) Hi Stew, Sarge, Wimbledon, giemme, V-P, Arnold, Sean, Blastvader and Wolwe. Thank you all for your very kind comments. As I've just said elsewhere; this project, which I thoroughly enjoyed, only came about because of this website, the D-Day GB and the people on here - so I count myself as very lucky. Thank you. Edit: i have run out of 'like this' for today so I will be back to add these to everyone's comments when I've got new ones!

Nick Belbin Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 That's sensational - excellent work! Did you scratch the trees or use a proprietory make? Nick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevej60 Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Have to agree with all thats been said Stix, fantastic finished work after all that went into it you should be very proud, it should be featured in one of the Military modelling magazines! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PlaStix Posted October 2, 2014 Author Share Posted October 2, 2014 Hi Nick, Steve and mixup. Thank you all for your very kind comments. Nick - I only made up two of the trees, the rest are proprietary although I don't remember from which manufacturer. I think they must be at least 10 or more years old. I bought them for a model railway project that didn't end up being finished and they ended up just being stuck in a cardboard box having been removed from the original packaging. I was glad to be able to use them at last! Kind regards, Stix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brews Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 When I have time, I'll go through more of the individual build threads. Having been altered to this by PM (thanks, Plastix), I can see that you've done a terrific job of the diorama. To save me a bit of time, what was the brand of that Tiger model? Surely not the old Hasegawa!? Great stuff! Bruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
