Now what?

Post by zzzippper » Wed Jul 14, 2010 3:16 am

I got my first two FOV WWII tanks. I went for the retired ones first, figuring get them while I can. They are both 1:32, a UK El-Alamein M3 Grant and a Russian T-34/85. I know they don't belong together in a diorama but what other ways can I display them? Just sitting on a shelf seems pretty dull.

Also, don't fear, others are coming! 88mm Flak, Jagdpanther, King Tiger, Jagdtiger, Elephant, M5A1...

where did you get the russian tank?
I've been looking for it for so long.
Oh, and displaying your stuff on a shelf isn't boring.
Just set the tanks on an angle and then put all of the included accsessories around it.
But I still can't wait for the dio.

Now I wish I could find a Matilda.

I'm working on a massive diorama that will encompass some 80 plus armored vehicles and artillery. so there is always the dio option.

Holy cow! In what scale? If 1:32 it must be enormous. Can't wait to see the pics.
