Nice. Personally, I am developing a small project about the Polish Campaign. Initially it will include only 3 kits: TKS w / Mg 25mm Vickers Tank Mk B Light Tank 7TP The tanquette is ready. As soon as the others are finished, I will share the result here. I look forward to your visit. See you later! Regards, Fábio.

Wow, what an amazing paint, Cannot believe all this detail seen there. You brought it out very nicely.

I thank everyone who liked it. For those I didn't like, I will strive to make the next diorama better. Regards, Fábio.

Beautiful model with fantastic details. Great work! Regards, Fábio.

Good job, These "funny" models are a good source of entertainment.

The gray panzer was very authentic. Good job!

To make this set, I used Heller's truck with the Dragon Howitzer. In this combination of kits, we need a very large diorama base to accommodate this classic american artillery ensemble. This army truck kit is from Heller, on the 1/35 scale. This type comes with open cabin and features a well detailed engine. There is another kit similar in the market, manufactured by Italeri, but it is of the closed cabin type of metal. The winch cable was missing .... but that's okay. I used acrylic pactra and oil paint for washing. This Dragon kit on the 1/35 scale of the american howitzer 105mm was mounted in the transport position. Finished in the Olive Green standard of the US Army in WW2. Thanks for viewing! Fábio.

This camouflage painting is difficult to do. I liked to see the result!

I like to see Polish tanks. I hope you have more ....

What a great result! Well done, Phil!

Hi James! Your question is very good. Well, it's not a weekend project. It was almost a year. I do modeling for 2 hours a day, no more than that, so as not to stress. I am making other dioramas on the subject Holland 1944 and I intend to publish here on this forum. Cheers. Fábio.

Hello Jonh! His observation was great: I believe that the term "Telephone" is known worldwide. For this reason, I think that it is not wrong, or even that the modeler made a mistake, although I could have used "Telefoon" which is the most correct Dutch word. Cheers,

Hi Rob! I got it from a Dragon kit of American tankers. It is a real Model: Cheers, Fábio.

Hi Matt! Good that you liked it. Ya scracht. There is an old model from Verlinden, which served as inspiration to make the building. Best regards, Fábio.

Vehicle and scenery. Everything was very nice.

With tanks and infantry, the Grenadier Guards managed to fight through Hunner Park to the south end of the road bridge. Machine guns firing, heavy weapons in action, shaking the streets with their explosions, covering everything in clouds of dust from the pulverized masonry. The bridge was shaking with the explosions. Skidding, shaking, firing the Guards' tanks, they reached the other side. The attack to seize the Nijmegen road bridge (Waalbrug) was carried out by the senior battalion of the Armored Guards Division. AoS sign white 51 over red square is owned by the 2nd Btn Guards Grenadiers. The division's second senior battalion, 1st Armoured Btn Coldstream Guards, AoS sign white 52 over red square, was not on the bridge at the time, but was employed further east of the corridor to aid the American 82nd Airborne. The scene of this Diorama is about the 2sd Welsh Guards on their way towards the Arnhem road, 21/09/1944. To make this diorama, I used a 12X12in base. There are 14 figures in total. The vegetation is Woodland Scenics. The street floor was sculpted to look like the brick floor. Also including the building's architecture, I hope I have managed to make the scene look as close as possible to what it was at the time, of a Dutch city. A military police officer from the Guards Armored Divisional Provost Company guides traffic near the bridge. The figure of the MP is Hornet, as are the 2 figures of tankers. The Cromwell tank in full markings: The Guards formation badge and the AoS sign of a white 45 on a green and blue square, identifying the armoured recce regiment of an armoured division. Also show is the bridge classification marking. The old and good kit of Tamiya Dingo, The figure of the officer and the sniper are Hornet, with resin heads. The Dingo figures are Miniart. The plaque on the wall: “Verboden Toegang” (Forbiden Access). With the marks of the 2nd Armored Battalion Irish Guards. Dingos were used as vehicles in liaison tasks. It was the Shermans of the Irish Guards who led the advance of the Waal across the road to Arnhem. The AoS sign of a White 53 on red square of the Irish Guards, The seated figure has headphones for the radio operator. The accessories that complete the model are made of resin. Jerrycans are from Tamiya. Miniart British Tank Riders (35118). Cromwell has a very large empty space, so the choice to place the figures there was obvious. It was not common for the British to use tanks to transport troops, just as the Russians did with their infantry, but for the scene, I believe he agreed, just to symbolize the need for the hurry to send infantry to the other side of the Waal. The C Squadron sign in the White is cleary visible on the stowage Box on the side of the vehicle. A beautiful final view of the diorama, showing the Cromwell Tank of 2nd Welsh Guards crossing the street at Nijmegen. An C Squadron Sign (circle) enclosing a number 1 is barely visible on the left rear hull of the model. The classic British Red Phone Box, making its presence here. I believe it is not common to be seen in the Netherlands, but I found it interesting to add it to the diorama. There is an illustration of the box cover of the Master Box 3533 kit, which served as inspiration. Highlight for the German / Dutch bilingual sign warning of danger of mines. The figures are Tamiya. The last is Hornet. The bike is Master Box. I respect those who in the past have fought for this bridge. In terms of model making, it was a lot of fun to make this Diorama. The hard work in doing it was a pleasure. Thanks for watching! Fábio.

Thanks. Glad you liked it!

Saeran, Bullbasket, swralph: Thank you. Glad you like! Cheers, Fábio.
