I recently got First Legion’s NOR101 Normandy Jagdpanzer IV model via their discount sale and have included some pics of my vignette display below. These scene depicts the Jagdpanzer (adorned in tree branch/scrub camouflage) waiting in a concealed position while a Heer Infantry Recon Squad moved...

A few pics of a diorama I’ve had out for a bit, showcasing First Legion’s NOR091 German Panther Ausf G (Early) tank model, representing a vehicle from the 3rd Co, 12th Pz Regt, 12 SS Hitlerjugend during the Normandy campaign, 1944. I got my model when it was first released in 2019 and it’s...

A German Stug IV from 17. SS-Panzergrenadier-Division "Götz von Berlichingen" accompanied by some panzer grenadiers make contact with the enemy somewhere in France during the Battle of Normandy… First Legion’s Normandy Stug IV (NOR089) has long been one of my favorite 1/30 scale AFVs and I’ve...

I just received War Park’s new Sturm-Infanteriegeschütz 33B (SIG 33B) Assault Gun model yesterday and it’s pretty nice! I’ve got it set up in a Stalingrad type scene with some First Legion Stalingrad Germans and JG Miniatures/Sheffield Miniatures building ruin and rubble for the terrain. The SIG...

Another collector recently posted this photo in the Toy Soldier Collector Asia Facebook group, saying these were upcoming Kursk Russians from First Legion: The photo definitely looks like FL products, though I can’t independently verify the it as there haven’t been any previews of these...

Pics of my display of the new Bristol Blenheim Mk. IVF wooden aircraft model from Thomas Gunn Miniatures being prepped for a mission by my K&C RAF Ground Crew and Pilots. They are a perfect match. K&C’s RAF range is simply fantastic 😎

Pics of my display of the new Bristol Blenheim Mk. IVF model from Thomas Gunn 😎 The figures are K&C RAF Ground Crew and Pilots with crates and fuel barrels from Thomas Gunn; the base are two TGM mats pushed together. In this scene, the ground crew and armorers are hard at work making final...

My First Legion Elefant came yesterday and it is an absolutely gorgeous model! Prior to its arrival, I’d been thinking of a variety of different ways to display it and ultimately decided on a rather simple display of the vehicle on the move somewhere in western Ukraine during the summer of...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

A British Matilda II tank accompanied by some charging infantry overrun a German position somewhere in North Africa, circa 1941. The tank and figures are obviously all Thomas Gunn products. The palm trees, crates, and fuel barrels are from Last Post Miniatures while the base is a modified...

While I wait for a replacement for my FL Hetzer, I decided to revisit my display with their Jagdpanzer IV L/48 model, moving it to a compact vignette display from the larger display it’s been in for nearly a year… I had my FL Panzer IVH on this same base for a while, in case it seems familiar...

I recently received a long awaited wooden aircraft model from Thomas Gunn: the Arado E.555 Amerikabomber 😎 For a little history, the Arado E.555 was a long range strategic bomber proposed by the German Arado aircraft company during World War II in response to the RLM's Amerikabomber project...

I’ve not seen anyone post pics of War Park’s new Brummbär Assault Gun yet, so here are some of my little display with the vehicle. The model is a good effort and has some nice features like opening hatches and rolling tracks. The painting band weathering are better than on War Park’s Normandy...

The other day I revised my original display of the First Legion M113 APCs from March 2023 to include some different jungle foliage and improved terrain, including mud vehicle tracks and soil. I also added some more infantry figures as well. These First Legion M113s are some of my favorite...

I finally got around to posting some pics of my display with the recent Panther D tank model. It’s a busy scene containing John’s Panther D tank; Panzer I Munitionschlepper and loaders; Panzer I Ambulance with medic and wounded; along with various mechanics and crew figures from War Park. When...
