Having a break from all this and have realigned my work over to the Famo and trailer and then I can say I finally completed a 5 year project
Thanks Christian the food is going to be there as well, there will be food stores ,plates knives,forks
Bit of a combination of an accumalation of accesory/detail sets gathered over the years.

Hello Again.
The work back on the diorama commences.
The most time consuming parts of the project are the beer bottles to go inside the house beside the wine crates.

Thanks Guys.
Yes Bob, the beer is worth it. :drinks
MiniArt have excelled in diorama products over the last 12 months.
I asked them if they are going to do any lighting accessories for inside houses and buildings.
Hopefully they will come through because that would be the icing on the cake.
Looking at the rear of the diorama will keep the viewer interested to look further. The beer and wine will be the second scene within a scene.

I'm looking forward to seeing this diorama finished. You're a talented modeler and you're including some nice kits, in fact several I didn't even know existed! I need to get out more!

Thanks Bob,
Yes, got the beer crates painted then switched projects. Currently moved over to working on the Italerie Schnellboot.
The hull is together and the forward gun tub has been corrected to take the gunner and 2cm.
The challenge is to work on both projects to make it interesting.

Thanks Guys,
I appreciate your words.
Just thought i'd show some better images of the bottles and crates that may show the detail a little better.
They now have to be sprayed with a satin varnish to hold the decal on the bottle as the decal will dry up and flake off as the material is not as soft to say what a tamiya decal is like.
The crates will have a flat clear applied onto them as it will seal against washes and finger prints.
I also managed to achieve preparing the small percentage of figures at the front of the styrofoam to be primed in conjunction with all the figures from the Russian Steppe diorama. Try to kill 2 birds with one stone so to speak.
The Figure Brands are a combination of Tamiya, Masterbox, Dragon, Tristar(Hobbyboss), Stalingrad, Bravo 6, Riich, Legends with a Couple of Alpine Figures tucked away in the corner.
