mbthejester Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 (edited) HI Everyone, I have finally finished my first diorama, as above I have called it NAAFI Break I had no plan and no idea really, Started with a Comet my first model for well over 20 years and then a Firefly my favourite WW2 battle wagons, then decided on a diorama, and found the base by accident I liked, and without any planning just added as I went along, lots of first for me on this, so overall I am chuffed to bits with it, few areas could be better especially the figures, but thanks to some great tips received and with practice the next ones will be better. Enough Waffle 😂 The Pics Well there it is, It has been a great stress reliever if not for COVID I may not have got back into the hobby. Cheers Mark Edited February 2, 2021 by mbthejester Spelling 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete in Lincs Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Mark, It's messy, the tanks are scruffy and the RSM would have someones guts for Garters! I love it! So many details to see, boot and hand prints, smoke from the pipe, the flag on the table, I'll bet you are chuffed with it. I'd say that it's a prize winner. Sometimes building as you go along is the best way. Congratulations, Pete 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers John, you was one of the first to post when I first joined and started this, tad artistic licence couldn’t find many good shots of tanks on supply near front harboured up, so just went with it 😀👍 Cheers for you input during the build very much appreciated Mark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcrfan Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Very poor form - finish bombing up before brew - horse before self🤪 Mind you it is tea so I can understand the dilemma for the British. Regardless very well finished diorama. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless very well finished diorama. Lol, nowt comes before tea, even in modern times, The ability to brew up in the strangest of places or at the most unusual time.... 1991 while operating behind Iraqi lines, a unit from Hereford had a mess meeting, one item on agenda was the colour of the new curtains for said mess, General Schwarzkoppf signed the meetings minutes 😀👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
