Re: New WWII Diorama (you choose)

I recommend that you add some more entites to the diorama to make it feel more 'lived in'.

A squad of figures in the halftrack or around it, and possibly a german AT gun in ambush would really make the diorama interesting.

As is, the dio is good, but it only has one point of interest.

Re: 1 18 KING TIGER?

Re: M41 Vietnam box figure?

I can't vouch for the S1 M41, but the figure that comes with the whitewashed tank has the same uniform as the BOTB tanker. He also has the S1 swivel rotation.

Re: which Vietnam figures are better?

Pleased to be of service to a fellow Canadian :) Thanks Tman, you are right about the colour difference, however if the arms from the AB series is mixed with a platoon figure, the colour balance isn't too far off. Also, it is the Tom Berenger figure, not Depp, that comes with the shotgun (a remingto...

Re: which Vietnam figures are better?

The articulation, gear, and bodies are exactly the same between the two lines. The only difference that I can find is the Platoon figures paint chips of more readily, but other than that they are pretty much the same.
