Tom B.A very interesting topic! Mine-disposal is often overlooked, but highly important. Looking forward to the result 👍

Ben MThe interior of the carrier is great. The figures are fantastic, I have no idea how you can do that in 1:72!

Christian BruerThank you Ben 🙂
The drivers compartment is enclosed and the driver in place and I just made a first setting with the painted figures. Well, I think it will come together nicely.
Happy Modelling, Christian

Christian BruerSlow progress, the differential gear is in place and ready for some paint before the rear plate can be added. I scratch build a new rack and eyelets and a rail that can be seen on photos.
Happy Modelling, Christian

Christian BruerFinished today, an Universal Carrier of the Mine Recovery and Disposal Squad, 1st Polish Corps, towing a German mine at the beach of Tayport Scotland in November 1941. The scene is based on an original photo. The Universal Carrier is IBG Models with some modifications, the figures are Germania-Figuren. All scale 1/72.
Happy Modelling

Michael KohlI really like project and result.
Allow me a suggestion nevertheless. Base and groundwork have a similar appearance and might benefit from some contrast. A grey varnish of the base could serve the double purpose of achieving this contrast and creating an optical connection to the background.
As it is it is a very well done scene with a lot of atmosphere.

Christian BruerThank you MIchael for your kind comment, I much appreciate it🙂
About the contrast in between base and groundwork; these melting effect in between the base and groundwork was exactly the result I want. The contrast you mentioned is in between the model and the background. But thank you for your insight and the hint 👍

Ralf TopetersIt was a long journey but well worth the time. You have exactly hit the picture with your dio. Too sad I cannot be in Lingen this year, because I bet one can see it live there. Like all the other amazing stuff, you and your crew produce. Keep up your proffessional work. It is always pure joy watching your output. 👍 👍 👍

Simon NagorsnikThe Dio may look simple, but it's well-balanced and interesting to look at.
Nice topic, well implemented and fits the template like a glove!

Landlubber MikeWhat a cool diorama! Love how you recreated the picture, very very nicely done. Modeling at its finest!
Did you scratch build the figures?

@Mike, the figures are made on demand by Germania-Figuren.
