1/48 WWII German AFV Diorama

Well I can't do any modelling until I get my hand out of its cast but I can share with you what I am going to use on the diorama that I am going to make.

Lets start with the kits.

These are the Tamiya kts I have right now:



A Non-Tamiya kit I have right now:



Kits I purchased this week from the US that will arrive here sometime soon:



These are the kits I will be getting next:

(I have to space my buying out over a few of weeks because the wife would shoot me if I bought everything in one hit.)

Hmmm...this resin figure looks very familiar to me.


Cheers,
Dave

Yeah, I thought so too.

There is a company called "Gaso.line" that has a massive range of 1/48 WWII military vehicles of various descriptions from the ETO from all countries. (Well, most of them anyway.)

catalogue gaso.line kit figurine soldier & built diecast military model

If I didn't have a cast on maybe.

But I did see some neat 1/48 Diorama Accessories???
(Man they would be the friggin center pieces.)


This one is made by VLS Custom Dioramics.
(But its sold seperately as 3 different items.)
1. Bunker
2. 150mm Gun & Turrent
3. Range finder for Costal Gun Emplacement





It would be perfect for a D-Day invasion diorama.


Cheers,
Dave
