So what next? I have some ideas for my next project. One is a Russian journalist photographing a knocked out Tiger tank. The other involves US soldiers at rest in Vietnam. I'm also considering doing something related to the Korean war, as my dad was there. Can't make my mind up. #histscalemodels

Think I have the beginnings of a diorama idea for my despatch rider and his motorcycle. He'll be taking a rest and a tea break on the bank of a stream. There may be a friendly dog or cat involved too. #histscalemodels
