Robin,

Wow! on so many diorama levels this is very fine work. Very well thought out. I'll be looking at this several times.

Thanks guys. This bridge normally accommodates my Africa Corp collection. You may remember Andy, it had the mounted ECW figures when you visited my man cave a few years ago. Andrew ( The Toy Soldier Experience) here in Adelaide, asked me to help promote his K&C business. All the rage at the moment is Vietnam, so I thought this was the series to run with. Coupled with this I decided out of my diorama pieces, this bridge would be the best to set them off. Placed a poster from eBay on the back to enhance the scene. If I could have charged for photos people took and the amount of times I heard wow and cool, I would be rich. So enjoyed the two days, especially after last years was cancelled, as you all know 2020 did not exist. Most of the time I stood in the walkway chatting to the passing people about K&C and placing figures in their hands to get their reaction to the detail and weight, always with the same result, amazement. Family day on Sunday, had me guarding my display from little hands, but nothing knocked thankfully. About 100 trade tables of collectables, but the usual stuff, Star Wars, stuffed toys, tin toys, comics and cards. Mine was the most impressive display at the show, as far as I thought anyway. A fair amount of people attended on both days and Andrew was happy with his sales, which included books and plastic kits from his military hobby shop business. Robin.

No photos due to nothing that pertains to our TS hobby. Your M113 conversion is a cracker John, really happy to have that one. Robin.
