I like it! The woodpile goes very well with the Hayloft set.

It would be cool if you had some allied soldiers hiding behind/in or around the wood pile...
Very nice.

Thanks,

Thanks for the kind words guys.
dfoos, The gunner sight is made by Verlinden for 120mm figures which is like 1/16 scale, product number 696. I trimmed the bottom of the legs so it would be the correct height and it works great. I have had it for a while but found it last weekend cleaning my hobby room. It was in pieces and has seen better days. I hope this helped.

Lance,
Wow! That looks great!
But I think you have wayyyy too much time on your hands, especially using that tiny axe!

Very nice!
Love the Ax in the "block".
If you have extra branches, might consider making a machine gun nest. A lot of the ones constructed in the field were just chopped down trees placed log cabin style.

Hey ISC1002---Great job!!!

I think SCOPE UK said it best---simple but very effective!!!!Things like the ax in the block and how the wood is stacked are what make dios look great---just that extra touch goes a long way!!!!

Again great idea!!!
