Great display Jack! you Aussies spare none for your fun. One thing I saw the knocked out Panzer, from my wargamer days, a charcol broquet and sandpaper, works unimaginably well to put a fine inpenetrable looking burned out look when sanded over the top of a vehicle and quite nicely blows right off. Have a great time at your get together.

Ray,
One of the gang, Fitzgibbon, does come from a war gaming background and whilst not 100% I think he might have done the burnt effect on the German tank.

I think I am collecting the wrong series, these are great. Like the layouts. Good photos too.:salute::, Robin.

Robin

Thank you very much for your kind words. The guys are very proud of their work and although they pretend they don't, they always get a kick out of reading the feedback.

Many thanks. Its always a good night ... even when someone asks, as they always do, are we likely to see a desert 88 this year'? I blame Andy, because very year he pretty much says no, and then adds, 'but never say never'.

Hi Guys,
Bloody good setup and dio ... Will this be on show in Brisbane at Nudgee College when I get there ... ? I sure hope so!
This is a lot of what this great hobby is all about ... Telling a story and having tons of fun and enjoyment sharing it with others.
Terrific stuff and very well done!

Andy​

Dear Andy

Yes ... it will be still up for the dinner. You don't take the tree down on 24 December!

Looks like some more reinforcements have appeared on the North African desert since I was there!

Well done Marc for the pic's, the lads for setting it up and of course Jack for posting.

Dear Tom

Coming from NT, you just get sick of desert scenes! Thanks for the compliments! I will pass on your kind words to Marc who may make it to his first dinner this year.

Quite an awesome set up Jack! You did an excellent job with the detail and your photography is wonderful.

Thanks for sharing this.

Very nice setup and pictures. Thanks for sharing!

Brilliant display ! :salute::

Great dio. I wish I bought the Crusader tank when I had the chance. Nice touch on the knocked out Panzer III.

Splendid images Jack - thanks for sharing! As a HUGE fan of the desert themes, I notice many of the pieces that I own and must say they look a lot better in this diorama. Great stuff here.

Great stuff Jack, thanks for posting. Many great sets on display and the pictures look fantastic.

Reminds me of the 8th Army displays (in 1/32) by BMSS member John Sandars back in the 1970s.

Well done Fellas another classic and Marc your pics are getting better.

Martin, that's a terrific array of sets that you gentlemen have put together. The display does an excellent job of highlighting the diversity of the EA collection and it's Australian contingent. Y'all always do such marvelous work with these desert-scapes. It could, however, use some more AK casualties.:wink2:
