Thanks guys, I shall be passing this on to dad

That does look very good..  The guy standing up in the carrier looks excellent.  I must venture into dioramas, I just build them and put them on shelves.

You should

That's one very busy scene Ratch! Great job working out where everything fits! And that's the most figures I've seen in a single diorama for ages and ages and ages. Well done on that cos most people, including myself, try to do the minimum amount of figures possible!

I have the MiniArt British Tank Crew in the stash, for a Cromwell, so I'll be having a closer look at yours when I can work out which ones they are. (I will have to look at the box art as I forget what they look like now)

 

And yes, I see you removed the tarp on the rear of the carrier. My advice was unnecessary then.

 

What are you planning for your next diorama?

 

Rearguards,

Badder

Thanks Badder, this was inspired by my dad's pictures of his National Service and while not replicating any individual picture, I've tried to capture the feel. Dad was in a REME attachment to an anti-tank unit. Most of the pictures are quite relaxed and informal, many group pictures too, but a few of them are training with the guns.

 

At the moment I'm building in an RAF100 GB so no dioramas to look forward to immediately, but never say never
