LSP_Ray Posted August 20, 2018 Posted August 20, 2018 That looks like a nice dio idea, Suresh! Not sure a Dragon Wagon is the best vehicle; I would think a truck mounted crane would be better although not sure if any is out there for Allies. Maybe a Diamond T wrecker? Would be a little more compact, too. I think the DW could only drag it up. LSP_K2 1
Suresh Nathan Posted August 20, 2018 Author Posted August 20, 2018 No sure either. I've seen a couple of British trucks in this situation. Technically, this is an M26 Knuckley - it has an A frame and winch just like the trucks but no crane. The diorama actually shows just that - dragging the carcass up a slope. Thanks for the input!
Out2gtcha Posted August 20, 2018 Posted August 20, 2018 Wow, excellent looking concept. Id agree, there is every chance it could have and did happen. Lots and lots of possibilities for that dio concept. I also agree about the Diamond T maybe being a better choice for recovery.
Suresh Nathan Posted August 21, 2018 Author Posted August 21, 2018 (edited) Yup. You guys are probably right! Although Dora's Diamond doesn't have the same ring to it as Dora and the Dragon! Besides, someone's already done it: Edited August 21, 2018 by Suresh Nathan
LSP_Ray Posted August 22, 2018 Posted August 22, 2018 Wow! That would be a big diorama! Could have a good title, though, with the Diamond T: "Diamonds are not Dora's best friend." Suresh Nathan 1
Suresh Nathan Posted August 22, 2018 Author Posted August 22, 2018 (edited) That's a very good point. It's also the reason I've started to think about dioramas in the third dimension to save space! Like this : Edited August 22, 2018 by Suresh Nathan
LSP_Ray Posted August 22, 2018 Posted August 22, 2018 Nice! Great idea. Although in my case it would blow up my vertical shelf spacing! LSP_K2 and Suresh Nathan 1 1
Suresh Nathan Posted August 22, 2018 Author Posted August 22, 2018 (edited) I guess the dragon wins! Edited August 28, 2018 by Suresh Nathan MikeC and Out2gtcha 2

Suresh Nathan Posted August 23, 2018 Author Posted August 23, 2018 (edited) Needed to do the driver figure before buttoning up the truck. Minor modifications done to the stock pose so he would fit better in the cab. Edited August 28, 2018 by Suresh Nathan
LSP_Ray Posted August 24, 2018 Posted August 24, 2018 Nice figure painting! Wish I could do it that fast.

Suresh Nathan Posted August 26, 2018 Author Posted August 26, 2018 (edited) Interior stuff done. Getting ready to zip this dragon up! Edited August 28, 2018 by Suresh Nathan Out2gtcha and MikeMaben 2
LSP_Ray Posted August 26, 2018 Posted August 26, 2018 Nice paint work! Holy cow, that is one dynamic setting! Suresh Nathan 1
