From your previous post - no I haven't gone to bed yet, as afterall, I'm a college student studying for final exams!

Your dios look pretty cool. I like the train!

Army,you're the king of xd downunder!!!!
The staff cars are the 1/18th Signature brand 1930 Packard Le Baron,right? I passed on one of those up for auction recently,now I'm kicking myself.I have never seen a Tiger 1 with schutzen;artistic licence?
I'm sure the others will have lots of questions,so I wont hog them all,but I will be following this thread with great interest to hear more about your collection.Glad you came out of the closet ,Army.

I love the German CCs. Very Cool

[gunslinger]

Army, your pics are awesome. Love the bridge almost made one myself, glad I seen yours beforehand. Wish I had your creativity.

[lablksmith]

This is very,very nice work. Looks like you have a few bills invested, but well worth it in my opinion. I passed on that bridge. Did you paint the train and which one did you use

[Kleinesoldaten]

Impressive dio. Thanks for sharing so many pics.

[gustav]

Nicely done. I especially like your hanomag conversions and command car repaints. Also amused by the German efforts to loot, whoops I mean preserve, that precious French artwork.

WOW!
OUTSTANDING!!!
I told my wife that i may need to refinance the house, so that i can join you forces in battle!....hahahahahhaha!
excellent stuff, please explain if you can where did you get the following:

1- german bikes w/ side car.
2- german scout armor vehicles (the one in the train) [how real to scale is that vehicle].
3- the german cannon in the roof top.
4- limo black cars
5- the extra buildings ( how did you made them?)
6- the bridge
7- The trailers
8- and anything you created that i did mentioned

Your stuff is OUTSTANDING...you need to set up a Diorama 101 class online...sign me up!
take care,
HOOAH!

[5ohsinker]

Wow. That is awesome. I'd like also like to know what you used as im trying to put together my own dio. What are the dimensions?

[ARMY GROUP 1]

YOU ARE ALL TOO KIND. ITS BEEN A PASSION FOR THE LAST 3 YEARS REPLACING 15 YEARS OF STAR WARS & SMURFS. THE STAFF CARS WERE OBTAINED FROM 'DIECASTFAST.COM' & ARE 1937 HORCH 930V LIMO BLACK BY 'RICKO', THE COMMUNICATION TRAILERS ARE EASY CONVERTS FROM 'PLAYMOBIL' & WERE CIRCUS TIGER WAGONS I BOUGHT 10 YEARS AGO. THE GUN ON THE ROOF & SCOUT CAR ON THE TRAIN, ARE A CHEAP SET STILL AROUND HERE IN AUSTRALIA, I THINK CALLED 'SOLDIER FORCE' & WILL GO AS SOON AS 21ST PRODUCE. THE BUILDINGS ARE DOLL'S HOUSES, CHECK MY PREVIOUS POST FOR DETAILS ON THE LARGE HOUSE. THE BIKES WERE AROUND LAST YEAR THRU THE NEWSPAPER ONLY & NOT SEEN SINCE & THE SIDE CAR IS A CONVERTED FROM THE CURRENT HARLEY 1/18 RANGE. LOTS OF BUILD A-RAMA ITEMS, WHICH ARE NOW ON 'BAD CAT' SITE. MY MAIN WISH IS FOR 21ST TO UP SCALE THEIR 8TON HALFTRACK & 88 FROM THE 32ND LINE. THAT WOULD DO IT FOR ME. CHEERS.

[Teamski]

Wow!!! That is the most impressive dio I've seen so far! Well done!

[tankduel]

Thanks for the info Army,I think that Soldier force equates to 'Chap Mei"
for our American (and other) friends.Hey,you could do some interesting dios with the smurfs being subjugated/occupied by the nazis;loading the smurfs onto railcars,smurf resistance fighters etc.I'd sure like to see that!

[DocTodd]

Great looking dio's. Keep up the great work. I will be looking forward to the great Smurf dio.

[ARMY GROUP 1]

OK, YOU ARE ON. SMURF'S IT IS, OF COURSE I WILL HAVE TO INCLUDE A SUITABLE AMOUNT OF 1/18 IN THE MIX OR THEY WILL THROW ME OF THE BOARD. I WILL NEED A COUPLE OF WEEKS TO ASSEMBLE, ITS A BIG JOB. CHEERS.

[tankduel]

EXCELLENT!!!!
