garrettbragg12 Posted January 6, 2020 #1 Posted January 6, 2020 Thanks to a forum member I finally picked up an authentic WWII tanker helmet. I wanted a fun way to display it so I put together a 1/32 diorama and thought yâall might enjoy it! Itâs a combination of FOV and 21st Century figures and armor. The book is signed by the author and veteran Clarence Smoyer.
M24 Chaffee Posted January 6, 2020 #4 Posted January 6, 2020 Very nice display! I enjoy tanker stuff! Frank
Garandomatic Posted January 6, 2020 #6 Posted January 6, 2020 Best book I've read in years... And a nice display!
garrettbragg12 Posted January 6, 2020 Author #7 Posted January 6, 2020 Thanks for comments guys! Spearhead was hands down one of the best WWII tanker books I’ve read to date. I’ve read it twice. The fact that both the American Vet and German Vet were able to meet due to it is such an awesome moment in history.
Proud Kraut Posted January 6, 2020 #8 Posted January 6, 2020 I like the mixed displasy with models and "real stuff" very much. Excellent painting of the figures and the Shermans! Very well done!
Navybean Posted January 7, 2020 #9 Posted January 7, 2020 I just finished “spreadhead” excellent book easy read and very enjoyable. The story of the Panther kill in Koln and the two crew that abandoned the panther tank before they engaged the Pershing was different from other stories I had read concerning the incident. Great book and nice display. Thanks for sharing .
ArtyScout Posted January 8, 2020 #12 Posted January 8, 2020 Very creative way of displaying the tank helmet. The tanks and figures look very good and the book is an excellent added touch. Semper Fi. Manny

Great book and nice display. Thanks for sharing . I thought the two crew members that abandoned their tank were in the Mark IV that Clarence shot the building down on, not the Panther.
Backtheattack Posted January 10, 2020 #14 Posted January 10, 2020 Very nice display, set`s the helmet real good in view.
Joe55 Posted January 18, 2020 #15 Posted January 18, 2020 That Tanker helmet has its place of honor there. Well done Sir! Joe
garrettbragg12 Posted January 18, 2020 Author #16 Posted January 18, 2020 Thanks a ton guys, I had a fun time putting it together!
P-40Warhawk Posted January 18, 2020 #18 Posted January 18, 2020 Great display. It's important to put the items into context so everyone can learn, and you did a great job of that.
