Appreciate the reply and good to hear. Chris

Thanks again for all of the comments. I started to add figures and vehicles to match the storyline as well as continue to add details such as signage and debris on the streets. I truly don't know if i will ever be done with this diorama. Every time I think I am done, I will see a new photo...

I agree with everyone that Ken and Erika have made great contributions to the industry and deserve recognition for their contributions as well as the ability to pursue their dreams outside the industry. I only started to collect toy soldiers after talking to them over the phone and then meeting...

On June 30th, 1863, Federal cavalry, the newly formed 1st Cavalry Division commanded by General Buford, approached Gettysburg from Emmitsburg Maryland and then through the town and to the outskirts where the lead squadron spotted elements of General Pettigrew’s Confederates to the west on the...

Appreciate all of your kind comments, here are the answer to a couple of the questions. First question, "Why did I switch to doing this WW2 diorama from the ACW dioramas that I had been doing for a number of years?" Great question, I have always had an interest in the US Army during WW2 and...

This would be a great addition to the train section of my layout. I just need to check it out for placement on "live" track. As far as paint scheme, my research showed that factory grey was also used on the Panzerzug Typ 42/44. Does anyone know when this will be released?

Break time again so wanted to show the Urban Area that was created based on recognizable portions of German Cities. Used approximately 750 different images of German cities that dated from 1938 to late 1945 as design inputs and references for the diorama. There are a number of suppliers in...

Appreciate the comments, just received the BR74 locomotive for the 90-ton crane and a BR95 propaganda locomotive is due to be delivered tomorrow. I am still waiting on a gondola car to finish all of the railroad pieces. Next step will be to load everything into the layout DCC so everything can...

Great vignette with the non-combat figures. Chris

Great job, always like to see ACW dioramas on the forum. Chris

I am taking a quick break and decided to post some images of the next section of the diorama that involves a small inventory railroad yard under construction and repair circa late 1944 or early 1945. I also wanted to show a few more images of the from/to on this section. The from/to images are...

Appreciate all of the kind words. The Schnellboot S100 is an Italeri model in 1/35 scale with numerous Eduards metal upgrades and a few modifications. The kit's dimensions make it closer to 1/33 scale, so it is small but not too much for the WB figures to fit on it. An artist in Spain built...

Took a break and decided to post the next section as well as an update on the dock area. I added the WB Kriegsmarine figures to the S Boat. Still have a couple of figures that potentially will be added. I did a repaint on 2 of the figures to add variety and change ranks. Now the AA...

Thank you everyone for the kind words.

Just a beautiful bridge, looking forward to seeing how you use it. Chris

In January of 2024, I decided to make a layout to use for my growing collection of WB WW2 figures and vehicles as well as to create a railroad short line. I have always liked toy trains and toy soldiers. I decided to combine railroad and soldiers into a single layout. I also wanted to make...

Thanks Wayne, tried my best.

Thanks, tried my best.

Thanks Mike, will post more in the future and be shifting to WW2 shortly.

Thanks Mark, will be sharing more in the future.
