Looks good Philipp

You could have tow bars/cables leaving the edge of the base suggesting a 2nd Sherman towing

Should be a cracking diorama Philipp

Thank you Steve

I've thought about that. Maybe this is just the first attempt and the second Sherman came later. Maybe I'll just go nuts and build another Sherman. We'll see

I remember seeing a pic of two FAMOs pulling one. Sure glad I wasn't a mechanic working that crew.

[Philipp Gross]

Two is a very optimistic estimate

[Steve Hutchinson]

Thats quite a photo, Philipp

It would be a massive diorama though, 5 Famo's and a Tiger

Thats if you can find 5 Tamiya Famo's anywhere in the EU at the moment and have enough cash to buy them too!

You are well on the way with the Tiger though

[Philipp Gross]

Before I can afford 5 Tamiya Famos I can probably buy a real one

Philipp

[Mark Aldrich]

Nah.....There's a dude on Evilbay that has more than 10 and is selling 'em for only $64.00 a pop. That's on only $320.00. Just think of the HUGE diorama you could go with!!! LOL!

[Philipp Gross]

Let's talk about that again once I can afford a place that's large enough to store such things

Then it'll get a place of honour right next to the 1/35 Dora and the full size 20 car armoured train...

That would be something to see! I know what you talking about price-wise.. I am really temped to pick up an Trumpeter 1/35 Br52 and making a dio with it pulling a couple of Panzers/Panthers behind....

[Mark Aldrich]

I never understood why they did 1/35 trains. Now I know, there are actually modelers that WANNA but Panthers, Tigers and Brummbars on flat cars with a locomotive pulling them. Who woulda thunk it???
