I am guessing Andrea?


Why not, it is like a diorama in a box? 


WWI does seem to be catered to quite a bit more of late.  I remember when Scale Link was the only game in town and I have done a few of their figures.  This is pretty cool but, too modern for my tastes.  (Though I do the odd WWI airplane still.)  I suspect it has an impressive price tag as well for something of this size?

Rather nice, but if Andrea, what price???? £ 200 + :(

As a flat it would be a challenge with light etc.

Yes this is a new Andrea and the price is around the 400/450 euros!!
 
my idea was the tank with crew loading shells though the door on the gun pod, thinking now it to much so stay with bikes as my projects  ;)

Brian, if you make it I'm pretty sure that i will buy it. I hope if you do it, it will be 70 mm
It will cost less then the Andrea piece.

I know it's not a flat, it's not what we do but the new realise from Tommy's War could slip me back in to round figure painting, at last a set to consider  ;) :D

This is the cover of the 1953 Ariel catalogue - do you think they were naïve or was the double entendre intended? Make a nice flat.

"Make a nice flat."
A two piece, bike and girl, but what size would you have Jerry? a small 30mm or the same as my bikes, after the next bike it will be old British bikes the will be made under the 2D banner  ;)

Brian, your drawing is exactly what I'm looking for. Do it!

OK, even I'm tempted on the bike and babe. Make it at least 54mm. Include the girl, but make it more of a 50s-60s pinup style by having her lifting her dress to fix a garter and stocking and I'm in.
Puns and the double-entendre were nearly always part of pin-up art back in the day. Elvgren would be proud...

No, make it maximum 45 mm.
Everything else is too big.

Well, I would actually prefer 70-75mm, but I went down to 54mm. The bike is an open frame with very visible machinery and intricate components. 45mm runs the risk of over-simplifying everything from engraving to painting.
 
My 2p worth...
