Encounter in Arnhem

About 18 months ago I got the pieces together for a little dio/vignette, and I've started work on them again. The scene will portray a German dispatch rider checking his map (from the recent Tamiya Motorcycle Orderly set) about to meet up with several British Paras who could really use the map (combining a DML para from their four figure set with the pair in Warriors set 35371). They will be posed on the Verlinden street corner resin base, which includes some rubble, a dead German soldier, cobblestone street corner and other odds and sods.

The base was assembled before we moved from Texas, and I assembled most of the motorcycle kit. The fit of the resin wall pieces was a little dicey, but I used putty and wood filler to smooth things out. The base should be a lot of fun to paint.

The Warriors figures are in nice, but exagerrated poses, and the very heavy resin plugs were a pain to remove. The weapons (a rifle and Bren gun with hands molded in place) broke in half. Nothing too serious, but adding to the assembly process!
