Adding K&C set# BBG 040 to Battle of Bulge diorama (1 Viewer)

[Iron Brigade]

I just added K&C set# BBG 040 entitled "Take Some" to my about 3 by 4 foot sized diorama of the Battle of the Bulge representing the first days of this battle when the Germans had the upper hand. This set's writeup at King & Country's Online web-site notes that this set represents "A Panzergrenadier offers to share some captured U.S. C-Rations with a Volkstrum rifleman" in this two piece set that was issued in 2011. I have placed this set next to K&C's set# BBG 033 issued in 2010 entitled "Cold Feet....Warm Boots" which has a German soldier putting on the boots of a dead U.S Army soldier. I have placed the new BBG 040 set such that the SS Grenadier is offering the captured rations to the German soldier putting on the dead U.S. Army soldier's boots.

The first photo is a close up of K&C set# BBG 040. The second photo shows the immediate area around BBG 040. The next 3 photos show overview sections of the attacking Germams and then the defending Americans. See the 5 photos below. I will post a separate 6th photo to show the left flank of the U.S. Army defences for this diorama.

VERY impressive display Gary! What are the dimensions of the dio? There's a lot of scenes presented so realistically. Really like the terrain with the boulders, trees, snow, etc blended in. Great show and enjoyed viewing very much. Chris

Hello Chris:

Thanks for your splendid comments! The display area or size of the table to be more exact is 47 inches wide and just short of 36 inches in depth. The Hills in the back ground of the diorama are made of modelling clay, the trees are common hobby store types, rocks are from the outdoors. The table is covered in playground sand which I had on the table before from a prior diorama. The "snow" is from bags I purchased from a hobby store as well. The two ruined buildings were made by John Gittins of England (J.G. Miniatures). All the figures and vehicles were made by King & Country. I started this diorama on a smaller area back in March 2000, it has grown since.

Beautiful and large display Gary. Big effort in hiding the figure bases . Well done . Don't you think it is about time some manufacturer produces an Ardenne farm building or house ?
