1/72 Engineers Laager diorama


Recommended Posts

I'm currently building a 1/72 scale dio of an Royal Engineers Laager somewhere in NW Europe.

 

It features my own cast Fordson WOT6 Type X engineers truck, my converted Airfix Bedford QLC Type B engineers truck and a converted Airfix Bedford MW to late type water carrier, plus other scratch built accessories. 

 

Here are some in progress pics up to the point it currently is at....

Sadly I forgot to take WIP shots of the 2 engineers electrical repair trailers that now reside on it...

This looks like real Engineering, them Royal Engineer Wedgeheads would never be trusted with that. You sure it's not a REME laager? 

Weirdly one of my mates is ex REME and has said they would never be allowed to play with anything so technical, am I sure its not RAF!? Lol

That is fantastic! And 1/72 too?

 

What a great pity you didn't do a WIP on the trailers, they look excellent!

Fear not, I've just been asked to do them as a master plus a couple of other types, so I'll do a WIP then

Looks good Sean.

 

Have you seen the new PE tools set by Hauler?

No mate, I don't really follow the PE thing as its to thin for the kind of other stuff I do, which is make masters for casting so needs to be a certain thickness to do that, I'll look them up and see if they can offer an easier solution to me scratch building them

Here is the review I did for IPMS/USA.  Several of the tools come with extra bits to give them a little depth.
