It took a while before I discovered the joke in your beautiful diorama! :-D

Excellent work again, Wiking! The buildings and pavement are marvellous. And the attention to detail is great again: Easter signs above the doors.

Hi,
It looks great. I know this model of tank, and I see what you have done with it. Tracks! And barrel... And civils... Only one thing... I always fought that German cross in inwasion on France was other than that used in Poland , September'39, as You know this white cross was very useful to aim antitank guns.

At first I thought the hatless tankman was fitting himself a new head, but now I see the calamity he is lamenting. I believe the little white crosses were made smaller and moved off of dead center for the French invasion, so that one could be pretty close to correct.

A thought-out concept! The design is very loving and detailed. I like the label very well - it points "indiscreetly" to the illustrated story. 8)

A funny scene! :-D Just great !!! As always! A great idea very skillfully implemented. And again many many details. Street sign, the sign over the doors, house numbers, advertising on the wall and so on ... and a suitable sign for the base. Great!!! :yeah:
