Hi,

Thx for the kind words !

Here is a little update. I had to redo the building , cos it was destroyed by a primer I sprayed from a spray can... Plus I worked on the machine gunner position, changeing his legs and arms (get the meaning of plastic surgery there !)







Hope you guys like it,

Regards,

I like the way you have the machine gunner "squatting" on the back seat. It gives it a sense of action.

A small suggestion... have you considered making that "ledge" into a balcony? It's just that it's pretty big, and I don't remember ever seeing a building in Beirut with a "ledge" that big. I just think a balcony would make the building look more real.

Of course, that's just my personal opinion

Nice work... look forward to see more updates.

Thanks for your comment Hisham, much appreciated !

I built that ledge with a sort of shadow shelter in mind and found it ok as large as the pavement is. But it could've been smaller, I agree with you.

As the scene takes place in the 1970's, I wanted to have something in that could easily help giving an idea of the era. Just have a look at the backside of the diorama, inside the house...





Hope you guys like it.

Yup... the "weird tastes" of the seventies

Great start here. I am a big fan of LandRovers and we don't see that many of them being built. Way to do something original as well. Can you share the manufacturer and kit # of the Dshk?

Thanks for your comments Iain. Much appreciated.

The Dshk comes from the old Tamiya T62 kit.

might i suggest raising the ground floor of the biulding about two cm so that the rooms are the smae hieght? it just looks odd with two diffrently sized ceilings.

This build is shaping up nicely Pottier. I looked and the thread some time ago and am sorry I didn't chime in earlier. Did you use foam board for the building? Is the machine gunner's head a spare or did you carve it yourself?

Hi,

Here is the diorama almost finished (bright colors on the figs that will become matt, a title for the scene, & that's all !)

Here ya go !

Now the Landie shooting back









Figures on & in the building









Like the room ???? With these wallpapers and posters, you can think of a flat belonging to a westerner expatriate working in Lebanon for example !

Hope you guys like it,
