Re: 1/48 WWII German AFV Diorama
 I've been stuck on the planning how EXACTLY the diorama's layout was going to be set out... Until now.That I needed was a main focal point to work on and the rest of the layout just fell into place around it. I had already bought the Tamiya German 20mm Flakvierling 38, when I thought a Flak Tower/Bunker would be a good structure to add to the diorama.  One problem... No one makes any decent 1/48 scale ones.So I scratch-built one myself from some scrap bits of MDF left over from the shed renovation.    Its not finished yet and there is still a lot of work to be done on it but you can see its basic design in the photo.When I position and attatch the bunker on the base board, the terrain will be built up around it and on the left side it will be about half way up the wall. Cheers, Dave

Re: 1/48 WWII German AFV Diorama
Thanks guys for all your kind words.
Although I could have wrecked the bunker,  I only just remembered that I had left it outside on the patio table Saturday morning and went and brought it in just now.(Oops...) Luckily it hasn't rained here in the last three days, so no harm, no foul. Cheers, Dave

Re: 1/48 WWII German AFV Diorama
I really can't help myself...Went and bought another model for the diorama today, the AFV Club 1/48 Tiger I 'Final Version' with Zimmerit.    Overall its a very nice kit (except it has those damn rubber tracks.) that looks just as good as the Tamiya 1/48 Tiger in detail and in some respects is superior. The Tamiya Tiger's main gun barrel is in two parts, split right down the middle, while the AFV Club Tiger is a solid one piece barrel. Another difference is the handles inside the hatches are there in the AFV Club Tiger while they are missing on the Tamiya hatches.  AFV Club provide PE grill covers in the kit, saving you from buying them as an extra part and also includes decals for five different Tigers.If all that isn't enough for you, its worth considering that the AFV Club 1/48 Tiger is only just over  half the price of Tamiya's 1/48 Tiger, making it very appealing for those on a budget. Cheers, Dave
