GREAT IDEA!
I really like DAK and WWII desert themes, so i hope to see some nice stuff here 😉
The setting already looks promising.... follow your progress!

Ha, a lot of minis needs to be painted...
But the setting is great 👍

@Simon, it´s not only the figures, but the L1500A has alot of delicate exposed stowage elements, too! However, I have to finish some more assembling before starting to paint.

Following for sure. Looking great already. Those White Stork figs look to be excellent too!

Welcome in, then 👍 White Stork are indeed rather prolific with a lot of great 1/72 resin figures. They actually seem to be releasing them faster than I can build dioramas to feature them in 🙂

Thanks Tom. 🙂 I had never heard of White Stork till I saw your build. Now I can't wait to get my hands on some!

Appreciate the interest 👍 Currently working on the L1500A. When this is finished, I can do some last refinements in preparation fot painting! Hopefully I can bring a somewhat finished result to Euro Model Expo towards the end of March...

Welcome in guys 👍
The project is continuing into the more final-ish stages with me having to touch up the base and vehicles a bit and put on the figures

Thanks for the positive feedback 👍 Maybe I can take some pictures of the finished result over the course of the next week.

the stuff in the L1500 is awsome 👍 Looking forward to see the complete Dio.

Ohhh, La grande finale! 😁
A damn good performance has succeeded with this, you can literally taste the desert dust 👍

Very nicely done 👍 I had the pleaseure to see it in real and to meet Tom B. the week before at Euro Model Expo in Lingen. It was nice to have a chat with you.
Keep on the good work and Happy Modelling, Christian

Thank you for your kind comments! This project was an interesting exercise showing that desert terrains can also be rather interesting. It will definetly not be my last desert-themed built this year (hopefully 🙂 )

Great to see the end result Tom. Looks absolutely marvellous! Deserves to win at competitions I think! 🙂

Top dio! Many fascinating details to see. And I especally like the look of the terrain.

Wow. Seriously impressed with the planning, prep and delivery on this project. Absolutely brilliant!

Lovely work on this dio. Brilliant figures, weathering and dio scene.

Happy you guys all like it 👍 Certainly won´t be my only desert scene, I have a few others in an "advanced stage of planning" 🙂
