i want to build a iraqi road.checkpoint need some more info aboud it
some photos will benice thanks any way

Do you want a permanent roadblock or a temporary one we used to call a 'snap vehicle control point' which was little more than a coil of concertina, a warning sign, possibly some orange cones and some vehicles. A permanent entry control point is much more of an elaborate affair with sandbags, HESCO barriers, etc. If you can give me an idea of what you're looking for I might have some pictures from my last tour. HTH.

Henk i dont know much about them but the U.S Army uses them to check for IED's and weapons and millitia i think. the Iraqis guard them aswell.

Mig productions and Accurate Armour make these in 1/35.

Can someone identify the location of this checkpoint. It looks familiar to me, but I can place it.

Those are some great dio ideas. I've been looking for a nice dio and I think I got a few ideas from the pic's.

Thanks allot for the pic's wondering if you have anymore.

Happy Modeling

greeting from holland

I was in, through at, Tikrit, Tuz, Al Hilla, KMTB, Diawania, An Najaf, Samarra, LSAA Anaconda, Baquba Ruz to name a few. Thats about most of them. The pic looks like Southern Iraq (Al Hillah area).

Nope.
Not our neck of the woods at all. But I imagine they start to look the same after a while.

I see you're in Texas. Ft. Hood?

No, I am retired now and still at Ft Bliss.

the first figures are in
