Battle of Cologne: "42's in the Building!"

by PhiMa Fri May 14, 2010 9:58 am

March, 1945. The Western allies march in on the already bombed-too-hell german city of Cologne. Even though Resistance is futile, Wehrmacht forces continue the fight. Here we see american troops in there M3 Halftrack being ambushed by Wehrmacht forces hidden in a wrecked building and the yard with a camouflaged Nebelwerfer.

Quick-ish build, I'm not to pleased with it, but it's alright. I just wanted something to showcase my Favourite WWII Model: The M3 Halftrack. Enjoy!

Cool! I really like the halftrack. Is it your model or the Brickmania version?

Well I don't really like it I LOVE IT!
The detail is really good and the bombed roof looks awesome!
Though I don't really understand why there's a wall on the roof.
Plus great custom WWII Germans are those torsos from Dino 2010?
Great MOC!

It's sandbags. It would be a tactical advantage because they have the high ground.

This is great example of why you are on the council. Detail in the roof, details on the roof, foliage covering gun on back right, and split jeep with burnt body in it. Wow, wow, wow. Love

The hecticness of the scene is just perfect! It seems a little too crammed at first, but it's a organized crammed. It loos like the battle itself is crammed, not like you ran out of space. Give the inside of the building a little more detailing, along with a roof, and this would be a extremely pleasing MOC. As it is, it still is very well done.
