Wow, cool! Awesome to see you got yours already, Rafael! Great pics too. My Panzer II A should arrive on Tuesday.

I agree with you fully, Mike, those SdKfz 251 halftracks are great! I’ve got all three myself, but the two you’ve got in your display are my favorites of the bunch as well. It would be great if John would eventually make an SdKfz. 251/22 with the Pak 40 antitank gun mounted to it 😎 (Profile...

What a brilliant display with your FL Tiger, Mike! Even though it’s a Normandy vehicle, it looks right at home on the Eastern Front. Also, Louis, you have an awesome display as well!!

Thanks everyone for the kind comments! The FL OH-6A is a beautiful model with a lot going for it! However, it is unfortunate mine and others have had the QC issues… And those huge rivets. Still, I admire FL’s decision to include the base and the option to display the model in flight as that...

I just received First Legion’s new VN037 OH-6A Cayuse/Loach Helicopter model from their Vietnam War range. I believe this is First Legion’s first foray into 1/30 scale aircraft models and, as such, the Loach has its good aspects and drawbacks. The model comes in a beautiful and unique box...

I’ve only gotten the Rommel and Guderian figures from this range, but have them on a bookshelf next to their respective written works. My used copy of the Rommel Papers is a first edition copy and edited by the British historian, B.H. Liddel Hart, the true originator of what became the...

The War Park figures, which are more-or-less proper 1/30 scale, will be noticeably smaller than the K&C and TCS figures.

You’re welcome and happy to help 😃 One more thing to note is that the first couple of Tiger tanks from War Park (including their 2nd SS Panzer Division Das Reich “Tiki” Tiger tank model) do not have working front driver and radioman hatches. Later models, such as the grey Tiger, Whitman Tiger...

Soldierboy, here are some comparison pics I took of the new-model K&C winter Tiger I and the War Park “Michael Whitman” Tiger I back in April of 2023: As you can see the War Park Tiger is basically the same size as the K&C version at approximately 1/30 scale. Quality is very similar as well...

I think as a typical rule, K&C, Thomas Gunn, and Collectors Showcase figures all tend to display well together while First Legion, JJD, War Park, and W. Britain all tend to display well together. While all the above manufacturers market their figures as being “1/30 scale,” K&C, TGM, and TCS...

Awesome scene, Mike! I ordered this set as well, Treefrog shipped, and it was supposedly delivered to my neighborhood postbox/parcel locker, but upon opening the locker, there was no package! I think USPS gave me the wrong key for the wrong parcel locker and I’ve been trying to get that sorted...

Brilliant! I really like the smoke effects seen in the last couple photos. Very realistic 😎 I have included a couple old digital pics of mine (from 2007) of cannons firing at a Civil War reenactment in my area. Obviously the wrong period and type of cannon, but REVWARBUFF achieved...

Thanks Mike! The color contrast between the figures, the snowy terrain, and the grey Stug is eye-catching for sure!

Your display is simply amazing! So much action and detail to take in. Fantastic work!

What an awesome display!!

Thank you everyone for the kind comments! They are much appreciated 😃

Anyways, my scene depicts some SS infantry hitting a ride on a newly issued Stug III Ausf G from Panzer Division Grossdeutschland on their way towards Kharkov in early March 1943.

Oh cool, thanks for sharing! You and I use the same snow powder then, as I get mine at Hobby Lobby too. That powder completely changed my winter dioramas for the better.

Excellent scene, Rafael! I’m particularly fond of your dirty and rutted snow effect and the way you expertly hidden the figure bases. How did you achieve that? Just curious.

Great use of those figures, Rafael!
