50 cm search light in an open position

Open position for anti-aircraft searchlight
while I'm painting my tanks and scout cars for the African diorama I built a quick weekend project.
With the model of a 50 cm search light I created a fortified position. Over the weekend I will add some men to get it ready for action.

new tanks for Africa

As I had to decide which tanks I want to place on the african village, I took two from Panzer Depot and one old Panzer II from Dragon.
In the next days I will paint them and some stuff to make them more looking like in action in Africa.

just out of the box: US-Army in Italy in 1/144

While watching an Italian movie with my wife I had the idea to this small diorama.
It shows the approach of the American Army in an Italian village.
The GIs just received at the train station. 
As my space is limited I decided to build a narrow gauge line with two wagons.
The M3A1 Stuart gives the GIs a bit fire support. The tank is from “Panzerdepot” and just out of the box. All soldiers are members of the “Pegasus” Army and are out of the box too.
So here are some pictures:

While working on the train I tried several different tanks - as you can see not all of them fit perfectly.
