WWII U.S. Armored Division; Tankers & Dogfaces (4 Viewers)

I thought I would start a new thread featuring my W.Britains WWII U.S. Armored Division vehicles and infantrymen, as well as the dioramas/displays that I have created for them. So here goes . . .

Looks Great!! ,the Scenery that WB offers is very helpful, I will eventually buy the one that has the burning Stug, to go with the M-18, can hardly wait for that TD to show up in my door step and start knocking out some tanks

Your scene looks fantastic, Mike! The background really blends well with your custom base. Everything just looks the part

Thank you very much Spartan, Tristan, and Brian. I raised the display a little bit and retook the photograph from a different angle perspective. I like this photo better:

Thanks Andreas

You betcha . . . Plenty more planned.

Absolutely Robin. The H&A Scenics gives the diorama builder a big "leg up" on being able to make realistic looking displays.

It's a funny thing how small shifts in perspective can have a dramatic impact on the final result. I always recommend to take several shots with small changes in position. Move forward and backward, up and down, etc.

Sometimes it's a simple as getting a figure to pop between two trees rather than disappear in the brush.

Really liking the new Britains American figures. I'm hoping to get something posted with some of these figures this weekend.

The American soldiers with the long coats are fantastic. Great dioramas, thanks for sharing.

Thank you Martyn. We shall see where this thread goes. It should be a fun one to keep alive.

Thank you Matt, much appreciated.

Thanks Benjamin. The long coats are raincoats.

I look forward to seeing what you create with these wonderful figures Frank. I'm sure it will be stellar.

These are photos I previously posted on another thread that I have edited and enhanced. The display seen here is 2-foot x 3-foot and uses an inexpensive poster frame as the framing surround. The building is the Normandy Damaged Barn by Hudson & Allen, one of my favorite scenic props.
