Thank you very much gentlemen
The diorama will take some time but i still have 2 months left
And once all the vehicles and figures are ready it will go rather fast

Thanks Romerhys and Andy
It will take some time before the dio and figures are up
I plan to finish Leopold first and i am working on my Vietnam entry aswell
Both are in the painting stage at the moment
But i think leopold will be done first as the Phantom needs a ton of masking with all the black, white and yellow parts and i want to play it safe so i let the paint dry atleast 24 hours before i mask it
Thanks for stopping by and commenting

Gorgeous!! Totally awesome work Mark.

That antenna will make it tricky to fit on a shelf or in a cabinet I'll bet.

Thank you
And the antenna isn't giving problems anymore
As far as putting it on display atleast ,it was a bigger pain in the rear during the build as i stabbed myself in the face with it a few times
But the antenna is about as long as the vehicle is but it looks bigger

Thank.you very much Martin
The dio is kind of on hold at the moment
Nothing serious though but my Phantom is being painted and that didn't went as easy or fast as i planned
But i want to paint leopold (same dio) tonight and then i will do a mock up of the dio to see wich figures i need and if i need to buy some more
Altough i have a rather large collection of them with over 80 build and even more that need to be build
But i will make an update for that once i have the gun painted and the figures build
And after that the weathering and figure painting but that will be a other update i think

Thanks guys and glad you like it
Andre , the red brown is indeed.the tamiya offering but i think i didn't mentionned that i dulled down all my tamiya german armor colors with some buff from tamiya
I did that with all my dark yellow , dark green and red brown
It is because i like a slightly faded look better and that was the only way i knew how to do it 2 years ago
And there where atleast 3 large bottles of each color so i had a large enough paint stash for all my builds untill now
Now they are finally used
Tom, the camo is not accurate to my knowledge though
I didn't like the versions from the kit itself so i did this striped scheme
Thanks for.stopping by and commenting
