LEGO WWII MOC: "Rural Italian Road Skirmish, 1943"

Hi everyone! Jack here again, and thankfully (with much difficulty from Flickr, falsely accusing me that I had over 1,000 photos), I have uploaded this display I brought for BricksLA. Everything was pretty much built in a week prior, so some parts may be rough or messy, but, overall (considering the time frame to build something at this scale), I think it came together nicely. Its backstory: German troops occupying a central Italian roadway (not Italian troops since Germans occupied most of Italy during Operation Avalanche, or the allied invasion of Italy, due to breaks in the Italian government/dictatorship following their losses in North Africa) spot the Americans advancing even more northwards. They quickly prepare to ambush the small convoy, but the U.S. soldiers won't hold back! The sides spread out along the road, occupying an opposite side of where they meet, and engage in combat. This scene depicts said combat, a relatively fairly common encounter in Italy during 43'. Well, that's it for the storyline. I hope, though it was built hastily, you guys enjoy it!
