June 7th in a small village just liberated by US Forces..Men relax, congratulate themselves on surviving the first day in France. Bottles of wine are openend..jokes are made..Luckys are passed around, But the festivities are soon interupted as a Willys ambulance Jeep on its way to a Collecting Station screams to a halt to ask directions....Yeah! tomorrow it could be me!!!.

Great scene Steve. I'll echo the comments from thread #1 in that the buildings and old DD sets look great the way you've set them up. Nice to see that old DD Sherman 105, it was one of my first K&C tanks and even though the track detail is not of recent standards, it's still a great set.

Very nice dio! As someone bellow already said, it captures exactly the spirit of what American troops must have felt on June 7th, with that "look at that wounded fellow" feeling following them everytime it happened all through the end of the war...
Great pictures, idea and execution!

 

[PanzerAce1944]

Very nice looking Diorama and collection {bravo}}
