Great scene! Love the black and white. Really gives the period look to it. That had to take a lot of time to set up.
Good thing you have all that AA fire power. They sure have stopped out in the open with no cover to take.

Nice pics and great custom Maxon! Thats a good open space for outdoor dioramas, may yard is full
of flowers......nothing worse than a picture of a 1:18 Panther and a two and a half foot tall Lilly towering
over it.....
Very nice job on the WC63 Maxon!

Looks like a desolate place to do a march in .
Great dio.

The photos were taken behind a small park below where I live. I scouted three locations before I found this one. I put the vehicles in three boxes and had to walk about 100 yards from the road to take the pictures. Set up and photos took about 40 minutes since some of the figures did not want to stand in the dirt. It was fun seeing the final outcome. Thanks for the comments. I will add more photos soon.

Very nice diorama! Best in B+W photographs, really well done!
I've made such convoy pics and know the problem of figures lied down (wind, enaqual terrain, too weak heels...) and you discover it just when you're back home, looking carefully at the pics on the PC, all figures and material packed back in the man cave... It's why now I put needles in the figures feet and dig them into the ground. It works even in sand.

I really like the way your modern convoy turned out.

I love both of your dios.
Man those pesky figures not standing up.
That is so frustrating .
That is why most of the time when I post pics I do not have any in the shot.
Still they look great !!
