That's really amazing Plastix, I love everything about it although the low angle shot of the back of the tank is probably my favourite. 

 

The base is remarkably small for the impression given in the photos.

Stealing that signpost seems like something Lt, Speirs would do. I've had a Chuchill, Uni Carrier, plethora of figures and a load of coffee stirrers sat around for months wondering what to do with them and have just had that flash of inspiration. I knew I needed a second look.

This is the sort of diorama that has me thinking 'why do I bother'!  But there again if I practice and practice maybe I can be as good.  Trouble is I don't think I'm going to live that long!  😆😆😆😈

 

Joking apart, it's brilliant!

Top quality work Stix,still can't understand why the Magazines have not come calling for build article or two!

Hi Steve and thank you very much for your comments. Having seen the standard of the models in magazines I can quite understand why they haven't asked me for an article. I am often in awe of the kind of ability some of these professional modellers have.

Kind regards,

Hi Will and thank you very much for your comments. The base was a bit of a compromise - I realised, while working on the project, that I wanted to fit the completed scene into one of the display boxes I have with lights, but didn't want to end up with the base as a rectangle so opted for this odd shape. I also designed the edges so they were rounded so the top wasn't as noticeably separate from the edges. I was quite happy with the result in the photos.

Kind regards,

Stix
