[wappynutter]

Awesome progress Geoff...
Some very nicely detailed figure work, and the diorama is beginning to look real good now..
If i read right i take it you are taking a break for the seasonal holidays to enjoy family time?
I wish you all the best Sir, to you and yours.... Looking forward to what builds you share with us followers next year...
Stay safe and well my friend....

Many thanks Andy, It's only a break from this dio as I have to buy some more figures and this is not the time to spend on modelling budget, due to other expenses, car service and MOT next week and Christmas coming up.
I shall be continuing with my German Stalingrad figures POW's walking home set and start the London Pub from Trackpads so I shall still be posting bits now and then.

I'm still messing about with this, so here are a few progress pics.

The buildings top window was crying out for something so I added a figure from the spares box.



Figure now painted on the left and fixed in place, mugs added, so they are having a nice break.





Another figure from the spares box but changed head to a Hornet Head so he can be getting radio alerts.

Thoose hornet heads can make alot of diffrence! After seeing this stunning work. I got inspired to go for my own long term diorama a la north africa. Start next year with axis powers in tunisia. Semovente and a panzer III as the stars. Thanks for the inspiration.

[Hanger2]

Many Thanks Gustav, pleased I could give you inspiration to to make your diorama, I shall watch with interest your progress.
