I call this diorama "passing water".

The vehicles by Ace Models are the Beobachtungs Panzerkampfwagen Mk.VI 736(e), the 10.5cm leFH-16 Sfl Geschuetzpanzer Mk.VI (e) and the munitions panzer Mk.VI 736 (e).

Looking at the kits when they first arrived in the post, I thought the wheels and suspension units would be horribly fiddly and difficult to get set up right. It put me off building them for a few months, but they turned out to be not too bad. Just use a hard flat surface to get everything square before the glue sets.

These vehicles were all based on captured British Vickers Mk.VI light tanks. The panzer crew figures are from the Orion Basic Panzer crew Set 1 and TQD make the infantry figures.
Most of the scenic material is by Woodland Scenics with a Noch water pump. I made the buckets from bits I found in an aircraft spares box.
