[quote="tiger1john"]A bit of early winter diorama fun! Hope you like it
A cold winter evening on the Eastern front. As the light fails a shot rings out. Desperately the men of Kampfgruppe Saar run to their defensive positions. As the snow fall changes to sleet, the cold and tired troops fight to hold off another tide of Ivans.

Nope, thats it, if you looked at all of it at once it probably wouldn't look as good.

This one is even better IMO
[quote="tiger1john"]TYPHOON AIRSTRIKE
The Germans learned the hard way just how destructive an airstrike from a Rocket armed Hawker Typhoon could be, armed with four "60 lb" RP-3 rockets under each wing, they earned the suitable nickname "Rocketphoons". The rockets (backed by the Typhoon's four 20 mm cannon) proved highly effective against many targets, such as unarmoured "soft-skinned" vehicles, road transport, trains and small sea craft.
We decided to make use of such a destructive power in our latest "Kampfgruppe Von Abt" photo shoot, I hope you enjoy.
The standard German Loco, type "52" was a common sight on most European railways during the war years and was used to carry all sorts of much needed equipment to the front, as can be seen below a few not so legitimate looted items also found themselves transported across Europe. Plus, in amongst the wreckage are a few items discovered which were not destined for the front!
The Loco show here has suffered almost three direct strikes, one of which has knocked the train off it's tracks, the other has badly damaged the tracks in front of the train and the third has blown the mighty Tiger tank off it's flatbed carriage.



























































Hope you like!

Some of those look amazingly real. The very first one at the top of the page fooled me at first, I thought it was real guys dressed up and recreating battles

I can put them together really well but not very good at painting and creating that weathered effect.
