I very much enjoyed making these three dioramas.  The original plan was to have one big scene incorporating all the items but the storage would have been a nightmare, let alone spacing between each element - so in the end I opted for three - which can be placed side by side to create a story - or left seperate as they are.

In total, there are 15 or 16 different model kits involved in this set, all combined to create an idea of a small area in France in 1940 something where the German forces set up a communications/re-arming area.

Panzer mk IV - refuelling and re-arming, North Africa

When I first looked at this model, the 1:35 scale Panzer mark IV, I knew I wanted to do something different with it.  Originally I wanted to add the schurzen additional armour.  Then I wanted to add some maintenance guys - refuelling and re-arming, so I left off the extra metal.

And so, here's the finished article.
