This has possibilities

[Alan 45]

we had a chair delivered for my son and it came on this View attachment 109431

I'm thinking of a large project but I'm undecided on what

My first thought was a the battle of navic, I have a hms warspite and all the stuff to build clifs and such for a fiord but this could be very costly in terms of stuff to seal it and the amount of fake water to put in it but it's still a good idea


Then I thought about a tank battle in 1/35 or 1/72 , both would be easy as I I have most of the stuff for it , three possibilities for this , El Alamein, Kursk, watch on the Rhine ( battle of the bulge) all three would be easy and kits are very common for all three 1/72 would be a long drawn out affair but kits would be easier just more of them


So I'm open to other ideas but please realise this is me and not Ron, Scott,Polux, or any of the really great builders on here :D

I have no idea yet.... But you can try to do something different....


I explain, not the habitual diorama. Looks really good, I like the colour and the wood, why you don't try to built a picture hung on the wall.

Interior design is not in my skill set I'm afraid Polux but thanks for the opinion

Sorry folks both are let down by figures especially the WWI , this is the problem diorama is governed by what figures are available, or more rightly the poses they are in

Adjust the poses ( Dr Alan in house) surgery but watch the fingers

An allotment diorama. Alan


Plant Jersey Royal Potatoes. After you have eaten that lot plant Jersey tomatoes. When you have eaten that lot think of something else.

I think that was the best WWII series I've seen it had some great actors in that , I wasn't to keen on the follow up though, the Pacific it just wasn't for me

Saw the pacific box set in a charity shop for £6 I enjoyed it but like you said not as good as band of brothers
