Very cool! I really want to take some epic pics but I just never seem to have the time. I guess it doesn't help that 99% of my figures are still MOC. I'll open them...eventually. :lol: Maybe some desert action with the DAK boys, I got enough sand outside. Not sure if they had giant mutant Fireants in North Africa though. :lol:

Cool idea and looks good, but the Sherman should be covered with all sorts of junk - both the crew's own gear, plus anything "their" infantry wants to have nearby but not hump themselves, plus anything else the crew can scrounge up. Not only are the Pongoes too lazy to carry their own gear if they can avoid it, one of the biggest complaints about the Sherman was the tissue paper laughingly refered to as "armour" :twisted:

Looks great. If you don't mind me asking, where did the red brick building with the map come from?? Don't think I've seen that one before.

The red building with the map is one of the 21st Century 1/18 first diorama sets...albeit, also the only 1/18 diormas that were ever made by 21st...a shame that they did not sell well in TRU, because these items add a lot of personality to any diorama....I wish 21st would re-release some of this 1/18 diorama sets in Walmart in the near future.

The red building came out when those you mentioned were released...i think it was known as the Broken/Destroyed French Building or something like that.....it alos brought one German figure...a la series 1 style.
