Hello guys,

'Cleaning out the Pocket', Colmar area, France, 23 Januari - 5 Februari 1945

As the figures tell the story might as well post here my latest work, depicting US troops cleaning out the last German resistance out of the Colmar pocket area.

Thanks for watching!

Very nice work Erik. Which Sherman kit is it? And did you scratch build the house section, or is it a kit?

The flying crow is a nice touch.

Thanks Steve!
The Sherman Jumbo is an (very...) old Verlinden conversion kit which I got 30(!) years ago as a gift from my Hobbyshop when it was closing. Upgrading was done with aftermarket products and some selfmade stuff.

The building is completely scratchbuild though!

Great work!

Thank you!

Cheers
Erik

Beautiful diorama! Clear story, great composition and lots of nice details. Love how the crows and finger-plugged ears add ‘bang’ to the story. Very well done.
