Random Diorama Ideas

[Story]

A memory from years ago, dredged up today due to something else. 

I live in a trash-picking ripe area and one day, one of those hexagonal end table tops followed me home - both the wooden frame and the faux (cast?) marble top. The size was probably 12" per side or 20+" across.

My thought was that for wargamers, these would be swanky representing a single square from the game board in a much larger scale (so someone playing SQUAD LEADER could use microarmor and larger models).

When separated, either the wood frame or the 'marble' could also be an artistic diorama base.

Both items went away years ago, but I figured I'd share the potential for you motivated folks.

The late spring flowers blooming are a nice contrast.

I’m surprised that no one tries to gather these destroyed vehicles for scrap purposes. That’s pretty good steel. I the Ukrainians use the broken ones for parts but these are only good for junk now.

Ukraine is still at war, heavy recovery assets are still at a premium.

Remember, the French didn't start tidying up until late 1945 at the earilest.

This type of thing always hammers home to me just how cheap all this military hardware was after the war, when it was no longer needed.

The Vickers Mk. VI was  light tank... but I think it would be safer for the three guys pushing to pull instead.

The Bomber gas station is a real 'blast from the past'! Sorry to see her in such rough shape.

A gas-up and burger-stop at The Bomber was mandatory on childhood family road trips through Oregon (Dad always preferred 99E to the I-5).
