[King & Country]

Hi Treefroggers,

One of the great pleasures I get when I build a diorama base is that point when the landscaping and painting is complete and I get to put figures and vehicles into and onto the display.

Just recently I finished two 22” x 22”dioramas of the same “crossroad”. One shows a winter scene… The other summer…

The first one is obviously (I hope) “Battle of the Bulge” and shows a U.S. Ambulance and some GI’s who’ve been captured by a “false” MP roadblock… Already one GI is dead and the other three are looking very apprehensive…

Another “winter” scene shows a King Tiger passing by two abandoned U.S. vehicles which are being looted by some German soldiers… the final display is the “summer” one… while three Panzer Officers hold a roadside meeting a “Hitlerjugend” Pauther crew nervously scan the sky and surrounding countryside for enemy activity. Somewhere in Normandy 1944…

As my brother says… “A few figures look good… Put them next to a fighting vehicle…looks even better… Fit them all into an original display and… they come alive!”











Regards to all,
Gordon C. Neilson

Very nice Gordon, very impressive dio.It gave me some great ideas for using the ambulance in a dio setting . The only small remark I have is that in the winter scenes there is to much green. Here in Europe, except for the fir-and pine trees, all trees loose their foliage in the winter.
but well done anyway.

Great scenes. Your ground work, trees and foliage are really nice. The scenes are nicely composed. You are a true artist. Whoever heard of a Scot with the soul of an artist? You learn something new every day :smile2:
