Hi all,  let me introduce last MOC. Year 1944, september, Holland. Small village near Nijmegen. Scouts from 82. airborne division discovered hiding german tank from 10. SS-Panzer-Division „Frundsberg“ at the beginning of the operation Market Garden.

I came out of lurking to comment on this MOC, as I needed a study break, was looking for a military creation to peruse and this had no comments yet.

As a big ABTF fan, the topic definitely grabbed my attention and the model does not disappoint! Items that stick out to me are the great looking pond with the off-colored green foliage, the angled barn which hits home the natural angles (or lack thereof) of this diorama, and the gratuitous amounts of irregular 1x1s which cement the natural feel.  The choice to use tan for 'dirt' is great as it matches the uniforms of the allies, especially in the last overhead picture they really appear camouflaged.
