Comments	This is miiniart's kit U.S. soldiers at rest. The figures have fantastic design, with unusual design and lots of extra gears. As usual, the problem with this manufacturer's kits is the excess of flash, After cleaning however, the fit is very good and worth building. The fountain i got at our local ebay site (mercadolivre.com). It is resin cast kit and really well done. Painting was done with Vallejo acrylics for the figures and the base and fountain was finished with tamiya acrylics.

Diorama vol.2: Patrolling the Bocage

Subject:	Patrolling the Bocage
Scale:	1/35
Manufacturer:	Tamiya
Price	US$25,00 plus shipping
Description	Injection molded. Diorama built from scratch
Comments	This is Tamiya's 1/35 scale British infantrymen on patrol. Inspired by the recent anniversary from D-Day, i decided to build a small diorama with the five figures representing a squad of British troops patrolling the Normandy countryside in the summer of 1944 after the invasion of occupied France. Painting was done with acrylics from Vallejo and the base was scracth built using several materials from art material stores. As expected, the quality of the moldings is fantastic and fit is well above standard.
