I'm well aware such uniforms (as well as single layer "covers") were used by armies of the "Third REICH". - however my question remains: did soldiers of the 6th Army at Stalingrad actually wear them? I know the Russians wore snow camouflage at Stalingrad; but have never heard of or seen any...

Did the German 6th Army really have snow white uniforms at Stalingrad?

Totally agree that for "Non-Diorama" shelf display, there's advantage to decorative bases that create a bit of environment. But even then, minimalist bases are so much more flexible. For me, bases like Stadden, Early Britain's, early K&C and early Front Line were ideal.

I love seeing the pics of various Dioramas posted on these forums.. however, what puts me off is the trend of large, bulky bases on the figures. Almost always, they're totally incongruous with the diorama surfaces and due to being wide, high & bulky, they're hard to cover over. Why can't...

The premise of your thesis seems somewhat off as the dates you mention are the at the "very end" of the imperialistic era.. No? I mean by that time, everywhere was taken and the next phase for conquered territories was the move for independence..

The painting quality of these pieces is most excellent!!

wow, can't wait to see it.. always had a thing for tanks; especially since I commanded an M60 back in my day..

Wonderful set-up! Just I suggest to turn the tank around to face outward

I must give you the point regarding Russian atrocities - although I personally feel the retaliation against Germans was somewhat understandable.. So are you then saying that the other Allied soldier's behavior was as reprehensible as that of the Axis?

Honestly, this is the first time I ever heard that. Are you seriously suggesting that the nature of atrocities were EQUAL on both sides? - the German Genocide - The German and Japanese use of slave labor - The Japanese Rape of Nanking - The Japanese use of Comfort Women - The Japanese slaughter...

My take is that soldiers fighting soldiers can ultimately be forgiven as both fought for their respective government's cause.. However the long lasting hate is often based on the treatment of prisoners and innocent civilians particularly women and children. In the case of civilian deaths caused...

I believe Germans have joined the D-Day ceremonies this year and previously.. Germans, now alongside Allies, honor D-Day victims I don't know about wearing uniforms there, but from the pictures I have seen, nothing is stopping people from wearing Nazi uniforms at various Toy Soldier Shows..

Want to add a Mounted Cossack Lancer or Officer - or even both to my Charge of the Light Brigade. If anyone has something they're willing to part with, please contact me. Thanks very much,

the scaling between various manufactures used to drive me crazy! - especially since my collections include several makers.. What I do is use perspective - placing the smaller figures in the back.. Works for me :smile2:

Extraordinary work! You really have magic hands!

reminds me of my pic from Guilin:

this is very cool!

these Hocker pieces are exquisite! They seem to have taken over from where Britain's once was. They also represent the spirit of the Toy Soldiers I first started collecting..

this is exceptional! Everything is great - I understand about the cannon.
