That looks damn good, I really like the detail of the German soldier with the camera. There is a famous and iconic picture of a Para giving two fingers to the cameraman, it would be ace if you could incorporate that amongst all the detail in there.

Cheers Simon
 
Hi Richie

I'm blown away by the amount of work and thought going into these diorama's

I like the interaction between the figures and the story they tell

Just a suggestion...the casualty in the upper window ....perhaps have the legs closer to the inside wall

Look forward to seeing more on any of the pieces

Your having fun which is what the hobby is all about

Happy benchtime

hello Richie,
I'm a little late with comments but hey busy...
I must say... it is a lot.the battle itself after the battle. I still have a rare book (and expensive) on the shelf, and Simon talked about a para who gave a German the finger, here is a photo from my book, it is in there, and some other photos to make it even more complicated
I will follow it closely (in the background that is, busy busy...) I think what you have made now is extraordinary

Para Jack Reynolds was the soldier. I will have to do it a slightly different way but here you go mate a roughed out figure.

Hi Kev,
I was thinking of making some furniture for that floor so it could be used as firing steps. Some just to say supporting the toes.
Glad you are liking it.

Excellent, I love small scenes within the overall composition like this it really adds depth, and for those that know it's a joy to find

Hi Hans,
Thank you, it's never to late to jump in mate, thanks for posting those....I think I had a look at that book and it was expensive. Arnhem Now and Then have 100's and 100's of photo's between the two volumes. I am sure some of those will be in there. Glad you like what I am doing and feel free to jump in anytime I am always receptive to ideas.
cheers

Hi Steve, Steve & Malc,
Thank you I have actually finished him today along with the farm house. I have added a side wall, made the upper window, added and upper floor and roof beams and laid a finished stone floor. I will probably add a stove and a table and chairs.
Apologies but this dark undercoat primer was all I had left, a trip to Halfords needed.
cheers
Richie
