This blog is intended to be a bit different than most in that a big focus will be on the diorama aspects. The focal point will be a Firefly IC (a welded hull M4 based Firefly). This will be built using the new Dragon Sherman III kit and the following Formations sets:
F079 M4 Conversion for the Dragon Sherman III
F022 Low Bustle Firefly Turrret
F018 Sherman Pioneer Tools
F050 Sherman Headlights
F046 Sherman Siren Assortment
F047 Sherman VVSS Track Skids
F013 US Cables and Clamps
The diorama is going to show the Firefly driving over a temporary bridge with a wrecked Panzer I command tank partly submerged in the river below.
I intend to include a number of chapters on making the ground work and also on how to make the water.

| The Turret | Jul 20, 2007 |
Well the Formations turret set is pretty complete and accurate so there’s little to do but put it together. I also added the rolled up camo netting to the side mount fittings on turret. The basic tank is going to be the British dark green so I thought that adding a khaki colored item would help break up the over all color scheme and add some variety.
