Styrofoam cut for base and hillside... trappers cabin will be built into the hillside base behind the general towards the right side... still playing with ideas... Open to suggestions if you want to give me some input... there is a soldier digging a hole in the upper right, ha, ha!!!

Then I made my trappers board and batton shed dug into the hillside out of white stock... hard to see with all the white but once colored and some porch posts and a metal chimney stack out the top and it should be good...

I love the cabin! Brilliant man! I do have to wonder about the Aerosan on the slope. I would think the snow would be too soft or slippery for it to stay there. I would consider re-positioning that one; but it's your diorama. Overall it is looking quite magnificent!

He's not parked there Mark, coming down the hill... I'll try to have some blowing snow coming off the back... You can see the driver and gunner are in action... lol!!!

Bruce these did have brakes, levers that dug down into the snow to slow you when they were applied! If you look into the middle of the ski you can see the lever. The one coming down the hill had them in a box on the ski so you can't see them.

So started adding the base color to the shack, it will get snow on the roof when I get to it so it won't be so stark! Also cut some old dead walnut branches up from the wood pile and made firewood piles for the shack! Here it is so far...

You don't have to explain it to me, Mark is the one. Just explain who he's shooting at.

Regardless, you have one awesome display going on there Joe. Are you going to show it at a local show someday, perhaps?
