Porky’s last ride – 1/35 scale diorama
I just wanted to share this diorama with everyone. It is set “somewhere” in France in 1944. A local cafe was komandeerd as a field HQ. Running out of army rations Private Hans kidnapped Porky to add to the potato and bread menu. The motorcycles are from Miniart, the Gulashe Kanone from tamiya and the Pionierwagen (SdKfz 251/D from Dragon. The base and everything else was scratchbuilt. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did building it.

Sehr gut! Shame about Porky, but it is for the greater good! Great idea for a diorama, tells a story. Nicely done, lots of interest throughout.

well well well, I don’t see Rene bud or Helga. Like the Pig though. Well done Buddy, as usual. Great build.

Thanks Buddy. I do believe Rene is somewhere busy with one of his waitresses and Edith is out of town. Herr Flick is off chasing the resistance and Lt Gruber is polishing his little tank.
