Thank you all for the kind comments on my diorama! I truly appreciate the support my work, as well as everyone else’s, gets from this awesome community of toy soldier collectors 😃 This display was a quick turnaround as it was recycled from a “Battle of Konigsburg” diorama I made nearly a year...

Very realistic photo of those grenadiers, Andanna 😎

Thanks for the kind comments, Mike and Robin! Robin, IS-7 was armed with a 130mm (13cm/5.11 in) S70 main gun, which was derived from a Soviet naval gun and used an early auto loader system. Frontal armor was up to 300mm thick and was intended to withstand the impact of a shell fired by the...

Another one of First Legion’s more unique armored vehicle offerings: the Soviet IS-7 “Granite” model from their World of Tanks series. I’ve posted several dioramas with the FL IS-7 tank model over the last few years and this is the newest iteration. The Soviet Assault Engineers are War Park...

Love your display with the JJD Panzer IB and the FL figures, Mike! Totally agree we need for DAK tank commanders. The War Park ones are great, just that they got retired right when John started to release his DAK vehicles.

Brilliant scene, Mike! The Panzer IIIN looks fantastic. However, your pics also speak to the need for FL to make some seated tank riders in summer uniforms, too!

A Merkava would be awesome. I’ve got a 1/35 scale Tamiya model of an early variant and one would be neat in 1/30 scale 😎

Fantastic pic and display of an away looking tank, Sahara 😎

Panzer Ace, me as well on the wish that FL would add more vehicles and figures to their Modern Wars line. FL has consistently shown their ability to surprise us with unexpected releases (the recent WoT Maus comes to mind) so I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s something in the eventual pipeline…

Thanks Mike! I’ve had my FL T-62 displayed in a vignette using natural dirt and bits of hardpan clay from my yard to simulate desert talus since I got the model in July 2023. The old display looked good, but I like the new one better...

Thanks for the kind comments, Jazzeum and Mike 😃 I’d love to see FL expand their Modern Wars line with some more tanks and figures. Still seems like a lot of potential with this theme.

I recently redid my vignette display with First Legion’s excellent Syrian T-62 tank from their Modern Wars collection. This model is fantastic and very well done; though it seems overshadowed by some of FL’s more popular and expansive collections. My display uses some FL WWII Russian infantry...

Nice to see a scene with some First Legion Revolutionary War figures!

Looking good, Jason! The buildings look perfect for your display, too.

Fantastic scenes, Rafael! The FL figures work perfectly with the W. Britain Hellcat.
