That's quite an achievement, Gorby! I would never finish such dio in only six months... Fantastic work!

Thanks for the "amount of pics"! They are needed to see the full amount of interesting details of this excellent diorama off the beaten track.

This is brilliant job mate 👍 Really great to see another of your builds.
On the other hand I feel bit odd to see ze lazy Germans 😄 I'd say such poses would better fit a Soviet, Polish or any other Warsaw Pact army 😄 (perhaps with ze notable East German exception) 😉

Thanks very much Lukasz!
Personally I think humans are the same - always happy to stand around with their hands in their pockets if the opportunity arises...just that the Germans seem to be able to hide the urge better. 😉

That's one ambitious build! I love the damage Thor has done to that sod, nice and deep. Thanks for the pics and the prose, always entertaining and joy to read.
And one more thing: deadlines are for chums, not for properly retired, now full-time modelers 😋

Thanks you very much Pietro & Alec. 🙂
Oooooh wouldn't it be nice to be modelling full time. It's all go here in Gorbyland, dogs to walk and naps to take. I don't know how I manage to fit it all in. 😉
Incidentally Alec, my next project is one of my scratch-build oddities.

I've made a note to let you know Alec. 👍
Doesn't seem fair on others to stick this at the top of the newsfeed again unnecessarily.

Thanks Mick.
Your comment has reminded me that I wanted to add some black and photos to the album. 🙂
Sorry Oliver I missed your comment. Quite right, I did enjoy this project (a damn sight more than any DIY task I've had to do - but needs must.) 😉

Achieved Great Things?! This is your Dr's note.
Please excuse Gorby from other achievements due to complications brought on by a fantastic build.
Dr. G. Time, Plastitrician
Seriously. Nice job👏

😄 😄 😄
That made me laugh Jonathon. I suppose the title is factually inaccurate as I wouldn't know where to start trying to achieve great things. I'll stick to mangling plastic instead. 😉
Thanks for your comments Jonathon and Mr James. 👍

Thanks very much Chris & David. 🙂
Mangling the plastic is the easy bit, it's the colouring in afterwards I struggle with, but apparently it isn't the done thing to leave them in 50 shades of grey....now there's an Idea for a dio. 😉

Looks great but railway modelling is another genre. Not only does it have to look good but it has to work as well.

John, did you used PS or LR mask to apply the backdrop hill scenery? looks very convincing.

Thanks Anthony. I used GIMP as I use Linux on my PC and Photoshop doesn't like Linux (neither does my wallet 🙂 )
Incidentally it's Mark not John. 👍

No problem Anthony. Always good to try new techniques - keeps your brain ticking over. 🙂
