Thanks, Edward. Yea it was done over a span of years. I might add that all of the painting with the exception of the HumVee and USMC amphibian, were done with a Badger airbrush and Floquil's military color paints; the soft edge camo was done freehand without masking. The two exception were brush painted with Vallejo and Tamiya paints. Haven't done any airbrushing in decades, not sure how steady my hand would be now. Have to do some practicing and relearn the skill.

Ok, Lou, Edward, EGilman - part II of the Armor collection Modern US Abrams M1, Bradley M2 IFV (2 variants), HumVee, Sgt York Air Defense British Chiefton German WII and Modern German Mardar (I think) APC And that Gentleman concludes the collection - at least for now - probably order some more kits in future.

Yea, one of our parks covers 2,000 acres with probably hundreds of miles of isolated trails but the citidiots decided to fill up the one or two common lawns with hoards of people and no physical distancing, ditto some of the trails. Luckily there are a few trails known only to locals that can be used.

We don't have any of those type restrictions up here. I can go out in my yard or even take a walk with admiral in neighborhood. Hell the streets in my neighborhood are deserted, only 1 or 2 people out walking.. Btw those last photos are from last year already loaded onto PC. I can still go out for groceries, doctors, post office, even parks, except the idiots descended on 2 state parks in throngs and now they are closed, spoiling it for the rest of us. I may be in NY STATE but not NY City Metro area. I'm over 100 miles from Manhattan island.

All of the WWII photos I have ever seen never showed the caricature peering over the wall, all I ever saw was the slogan. Besides I am not that good an artist - had all I go do just to keep hand steady enough to write the slogan without smearing it all over the wall. Thanks for the compliments, Lou. Reinforcements from rear aka stash. I probably should photograph the stash . . . Yikes !

Well I knew there was something missing from the diorama. Took me a while to remember it tho (advancing age I guess).. Now that the most famous building tag of WWII has been added to the church walls the diorama is now complete. Thanks for following along and all the helpful comments, critiques, off-topic banter, jokes etc, much appreciated. Stay turned for the next "incarceration" project.

About the NRG
If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.
The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.
The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
