Hi everybody , this is my new project: the excellent M88 "NAM" kit from AFV club with the fantastic tracks workable. The kit was painted with black Revell as primer then dark green as main coat. I washed it with oil paint Grumbacher, weathered with pastel and MIG pigments. To get it more realistic, I also used some of accessories from Tamiya (the chicken), Verlinden (2 figures,.50 cal), Woodland Scenics(grass) and the palms handmade.

Thank you for your compliments! It's one of my firsts dioramas so I just had a little bit idea. For the palms, in fact I modified from the plant bought in a hobby shop for aquarium. Hoping you 'll love my next projects.

Hey Frenchy,
Thanks mate!
I've sent an email to mich.toy as I am quite friendly with them; although they dont work at weekends so I'll have to wait until Monday for a reply.
I'll keep you posted.
