    The Battle of Königsberg, April 1945

    Pics of my latest diorama featuring a scene of German Infantry and an up-gunned Stug III C/D desperately defending a neighborhood somewhere in Königsberg during the Soviet offensive in early April, 1945. The scene makes use of First Legion’s new Late War/Battle of Königsberg German Infantry and...

    LWG038 Is Now in Stock

    Fantastic news! I’ve been looking forward to this vehicle and hope mine arrives safe and sound from my dealer… However, I’ll admit I was getting very concerned with the tariff issues, particularly given that the model was originally scheduled to ship February/March but got delayed well into...

    The Greatest Tank Battle

    Thanks everyone for the kind comments on my display 😃 Echoing some of the comments above, I agree it’s rare to have two opposing tanks in a smallish vignette display. This setup works and maintains some accuracy because opposing tanks did indeed come this close, or very near to it, in the...

    The Greatest Tank Battle

    I also posted this in the War Park Forum, but figured I’d put it here as well… My scene depicts ann intense moment as a German Tiger I and Soviet T-34/76 duel during the Battle of Prokhorovka on 12 July 1943, during Operation Citadel (southern front). I only had so much space on my chosen...

    The Greatest Tank Battle

    An intense scene as a German Tiger I and Soviet T-34/76 duel during the Battle of Prokhorovka on 12 July 1943, during Operation Citadel (southern front). I only had so much space on my chosen base, but tanks did get this close in the melee at Prokhorovka and it ranks as one of the single largest...

    The Xuan Hua T-34/76 is Exquisite!

    Actually, I didn’t have to pay any tariffs on this purchase. Item cost was $399.99 with free shipping and that’s what I paid… Granted I had placed my order the day before the big announcement came on Wednesday - or maybe tariffs don’t apply on individual purchases? I’d have totally bought from...

    The Xuan Hua T-34/76 is Exquisite!

    I recently purchased the new Xuan Hua T-34/76 model and it is exquisite! The version I have does not include the full interior, but has working hatches, movable guns, and rotating turret. The paint and weathering are excellent and very similar to First Legion’s latest offerings. It compares well...

    John Jenkins and First Legion, TGM and Britain,s Dealers......................

    With TGM, you could order directly from the company (I do this with their wooden warbirds models and one can do it with their other figures). John Jenkins supposedly does this as well, but his website always seems out of date. I was also going to recommend Chris Tay and his shop, Toy Soldiers...

    The Grille is Fantastic!

    Thank you everyone for the kind comments on my display with the Grille! I’ll admit that earlier on, I was on the fence about this and nearly cancelled my order, but glad I didn’t as it’s a beautiful model and makes for a great display piece. Thomas Gunn has been doing some fantastic work on...

    The Grille is Fantastic!

    My TGM Grille model just came in today and it is a fantastic model! The vehicle is very well detailed and weathered. The new crew figures look great as well. I decided to display my Grille in a simple compact vignette display showcasing the vehicle and some TGM SS figures relaxing next to it...

    Thomas Gunn Mats

    I’d say combining the TGM mats worked splendidly, Rob! Those are some fantastic displays you have there 😎

    The Nashorn Revisited

    Wow, I’d forgotten about this post and the vignette with War Park’s Nashorn! I later reused the same base for my display with War Park’s Normandy Tiger I tank. A belated thank you to everyone for all the likes and kind comments on my diorama 😃

    Stalingrad Sniper Hide

    This is a great scene, Mike! Personally, I really like War Park’s first wave of Soviet Assault Engineer figures and you’ve done a great job displaying the sniper team in action 😎
