I finished this diorama a while ago, but I've recently got a new camera so decided to post some piccies. The US Rangers and the Tiger are both Tamiya 1/35, and the Tiger's crew are, if I remember, by Academy. I'm thinking about adding more rubble and debris on the road, as well as weathering the Tiger a bit (alright, a lot) more. Also might get/make some tables and chairs to put in the cafe.

Anyone else think this guy looks like David Niven? I just had to give him a 'tash.

The name sounded familiar but I couldn't place it so I looked it up on IMDB. You're right, the figure does look like him.

Cheers guys.

Yep I thought that too lol. I think they must model the faces on real people. There's another guy that comes with the Universal Carrier, who also looks like John Wayne lol.

Very nice Diorama there. Very detailed and well built. Fantastic. Just reminds me of the scene in A bridge to far when the tank commanders are totally oblivious to the american soldiers in the bushes about to ambush them!:up:
