Here's my completed T-72B diorama. The ruined building is a Mig resin casting and the figures are from the Orion Modern Russian Federals set. This is loosely based on the Battle of Grozny in 1995. I'm primarily a model railroader with only a couple military builds under my belt so I realize there are inaccuracies. Trains are my forte. At any rate, I'm pleased with the results.

Nicely done Erik, Great way to finish a great build. Obviously your railroad skills have translated over to armor, especially in this scale.

Two thumbs up from me. The weathering and detailing for that scale is very impressive.

Great stuff, its all really very well finished mate. The figs give it a really nice dimension though, we dont see figs often enough with modern braille subjects ......

cheers
