I know some of these don't fit the diorama criteria but since dioramas fit all sorts of vehicles and other various forms of action I figured this was the most appropriate spot for these photos.

Hehe!
There are definately some great things there. I like the guy (or girl?) with the AK47 and his/hers costume. Also the guys with the baseball and mortar - could be a fun dio, also suitable for other theatres like wwii etc.

The HMMWV is definitely a photoshop, you can see the coloring has been applied around various details such as the exhaust, also look around the right wing mirror. Although its a photoshop I still kinda fancy painting a Humvee like this just for the fun of it.

Pat, it's a bit of a stretch, and a tad expensive for a base vech., $ 90 U.S. at Great Models, but................
Not much in the way of engine detail either, and what the heck are the round thingies on the lower sides of the engine ? - rubberband cowls ?

Tired of the same old 55 gal drums?
Slap a camel in the back.
Tired of the same old 4 wheeler?
Go for the up armored version.
Bored with the same old sand drab truck?
Dress it up with some strange people in the back!
Can't think of a thing to do?
Redecorate!

The photo of the upgunned tractor makes me think of a song I've heard, "do you think my tractor's sexy" lol. I'd love to do the "General Lee" Hummer I have an Academy kit and some Southern flags to do this just need the orange paint. A nice fun change of direction. Thanks for the photo's.
