Today i added some stowage, and the mat for driving out of mud.
I need to secure the load with strings, and wire.

even just the tarp itself is magic, the folds/creases/draping = hyper real...the whole thing is sooo impressive, Siara

Thanks Wink- im glad you like it my friend.
I must say- im really happy with the way it turns out.
I have no previous experience in building the dioramas, but i try to follow in the footsteps of the masters in the field.
I also write in the MIG producttions forum, where we have few really outstanding diorama builders, and i just read, and learn.
I dont rush the job, and when in doubt im not afraid to ask questions, and usually they come up with right advice.

Im liking the diorama builing more, and more, so i think theres few more of them coming your way.

Probably a few mils of real brandy...he hollowed it out and turned a screw cap on the lathe...I'm only half kidding!

Hi Siara, I've been off the past 10 or so days road cycling and working on other projects, so I have not posted.  Your build is exquisite.  It would be a near sure blue ribbon winner in any contest.  Maybe someday my skills will get close to your's, but I'm not holding my breath!  Great work once again my friend!

Siara,
Once again my friend you have amazed us all. Very good work, I really like how you can tell a storey with your builds. It takes me back in time almost like I was in the field watching those soldiers interact with each other.
