DONE: Defending Carentan

Post by trigger1 » Wed Sep 21, 2011 1:51 pm

This is a small dio that I have been plugging away at. Eventually I plan to depict the 6th FJ Regiment preparing to defend Carentan. More to come.

Looking Great! THe panzer yellow seams to have a touch too much orange in it but their paints did vary alot. This is going to be COOL!

I finally found some time to wrap this little project up. The barn set from 21C is really one of my favorite pieces they put out. It is incredibly sturdy and has great detail. Thanks to pickelhaube, Plasticboy, and thehun for some great custom pieces. Thanks for lookin.

21st's Hayloft is a great piece and the rest of the diorama works so well with it.

Outstanding scene tigger! Love the barn but the camo motorcycle really captures my eye. Love the paint job and the accessories. Overall, all of your custom work looks fantastic. I'm a real simple "buy-it and display it kinda guy", so I really admire what people like you are able to do. So realistic!
