Thanks Sammy. I've had some time of late to put some scenes together. It's almost as if the dam has burst for me. I had a lot of ideas backlogged and finally getting around to them. Still more to do though. Here are a few more shots that I didn't use the first go round. These had a little different tint and I preferred the other pictures better.

Oh, forgot to mention about the Sherman. That's a 21st Century 1/32 that I just spruced up with some paint/weathering, etc. I thought it went well with the FL figures.

Another job well done. You have had some spectacular scenes so far. Keep rolling out those ideas.

Excellent once again Duke and I am constantly amazed on the backdrops you use and how well you use them in the scenes. I agree that the Sherman works well with the FL figures.

Thanks for that. I enjoyed your recent FL scene as well.

Thanks Tom. Backdrops do help in making a scene come together. Thanks for the positive feedback.

Thanks, yes the grass mat in this scene is from JG Miniatures as are the tree and fence sections.

That's not a bad looking US Sherman Tank and likely at a reasonable price point.....Question: Is 21st century the same as FOV???....The scale looks compatible with the FL para's or is it just simply the angle of the photo??.....Excellent dio work...very realistic scene.

Thanks. 21st Century is not the same as FOV. 21st Century is no longer in business but made some nice stuff before going out. This piece is 1/32 scale and a mixture of mostly plastic with some diecast. I did some additional painting/weathering to the tank. The tank cost me about $20. Well worth it.

Great setup, beautiful use of the groundwork, and nice blending with the backdrop. Great pictures.
