Hi folks this is something I have been working on the past few months, this is july 10th 1944 after the british and Canadian forces entered Caen, to be greeted by a city of rubble. The remaining survivours are making an effort to clear the streets to aid the allied advance.

This diorama is in 1/35 scale and the vehicles are a mix of Tamiya and italeri, the figures are a mix of minimart, preiser, and Tamiya. I hope you like it and as usual all comments are most welcome be they good or bad.

Yep, I noticed the missing track, maybe a different German unit took it for added defence on their Tiger. Superb modelling, kudos to you sir, 5 star all the way.

The panzer was hit further down the street and continued moving with the crewe dead. It ran off its track and impacted the phone pole and stopped.

Brilliant stuff Scott, and as has been written, plenty to see and yes, very well painted.

A quite believable scenario.

Excellent work...
