Very nice diorama in the Pacific Theater. It's not as common as the Russian Fronto or Northwestern Europe. |

The tank is great but the figures are simply amazing. |

Agreed – the highlighting to make it look like the sunlight is hitting the uniforms in incredible! |

Very nicely done. One thing I would change is that given the setting it seems that given the casual poses of the infantry that the tank would be unbuttoned at least for the commander. Chris |

A beautiful piece of modelling bordering on art. The comment regarding being ‘buttoned up' seems relevant. Best wishes, Chris |

Yes, in Manila, clearly away from any threat, I would expect every hatch to be open, even the pistol port. Great attention to detail eg periscope guards, the spillage stain below the fuel cap (universally seen). I am surprised by the positioning of the left front headlamp and siren. My Shermans all have them with the siren outermost, but I think this guy knows what he is doing in his modelling! |

Yes, we do. You have done so well to find this. The only complaint we keep hearing is no real comment from you. Without you we would be seriously short of topics to discuss. But bless you, why do you not add some extra content yourself? I can understand that you simply may not have the time. But when will we have a posting of "Hello, I am Tango, this is my interest, here is what I do, here are some pictures"? |

I'm not a man of so many words my good friend… I only talk when I need to said something… I prefer the "searcher" or "explorer" work… there are here great people who wrote and knows much more than myself… And remember… english is my fourth idiom… (smile) Amicalement

His fourth…his fourth….. Are we impressed? Really, are we impressed? (OK maybe we are but would we admit that to him?) I can order one two or three beers in French, German, Italian and Spanish and would know how many digits to hold up, to avoid getting identified as an enemy agent. But that is it. I have maybe two or three phrases in the language of my native country, indeed my passport country. But God Bless Ireland, that is it. My Dad learnt physics in Gaelic in the 1940s! |

I can order one two or three beers in French, German, Italian and Spanish …
La cervesa mas finas! Dos mas cervesas grandes por favor!
Bitte ein Bit! Und … noch zwei grosses bieren, bitte! But … honestly, if you are ordering beer in French or Italian you are making a fundamental mistake, my friend!
Repeat after me: un vin ordinaire s'il vous plait …
Peroni: indisputable evidence of why Italy is known for it's wines… It is almost a shame that online translations are so easy now that no one believes my lifetime efforts at language skills (until perhaps they find the same kinds, and frequencies, of spelling errors in my correspondence, quite regardless of the language used). I … would know how many digits to hold up, to avoid getting identified as an enemy agent. There are more ways to get into trouble than being "ID'd". For example, I had the great adventure of having to ask where the restroom was in the lobby of the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Tokyo. As I approached the bell captain's desk, I was confident my Japanese language skills were up for asking the question. As to the answer, well I knew "left", "right", and "straight ahead", as well as any numbers he might tell me. So I was all set, right? So I asked. And he politely replied, in Japanese, something along the lines of: "you go across the lobby, up the escalator, through the double doors, and it is down the hall on your right." I heard: "words words words words words right".

Allow me my friend…
"La cervesa mas finas! Dos mas cervesas grandes por favor!"
La Cerveza mas fina (que tengas?)… (or) Las Cervezas mas finas (por favor?)…
Dos Cervezas mas… (y) grandes por favor!…
Also…Vos meilleures bières mon ami … et si elles sont les plus grosses, mieux c'est!… (smile)

Alas, you have hit the bulls-eye, Armand. The spelling/typo errors are mine, and mine alone. It is the hallmark of my fumble-fingers (and my dyslexia) in any language. Now, as to the choice (que tengas?) …
I was just parroting my preferred advertising slogans.
Als ich Student war, mein Professor hat uns gesachte: "Wenn Sie Deutschland besuchen, muessen Sie ein Bitburger Pils trinken." Being the good student that I am, I have kept that guidance close for (mumble-mumble) years. Et … ils ne s'agit pas si elles sont les plus grosses, mais s'ils y a des plus. "Encore deux grosses bieres, mon vieux. Et si elles sont vos meilleures, ca va mieux! Mais alors vous pourriez souffrir d'un Kronenbourg … vaut mieux dire "bitte ein Bit!". Besser mit: "encore deux vin ordinaire, s'ils vous plait." (оскал!) -Mark
