The idea of making two different seasons is very original. The vegetation is fantastic! Great work! Loved to see the new WV beetle SS version too. Congratulations!!
 
I always enjoy seeing these displays, it is inspirational. You are very skilled. Thank you.

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 goodPut them next to a fighting vehicle…looks even better… Fit them all into an original display and… they come alive!

Dear Gordon:

Splendid photos of great looking dioramas.

"Iron Brigade"
 
As always, it's a fantastic dio.

Any tips on how you made that stone block edging on the base? I always think that's a nice touch. Especially on the diorama in the Tiger issue of The Collector.
 
Great use of the squatting soldier next to the cows ! Also I think the Panther will be coming my way very very soon !!!! ^&grin
