Great work really like the simple layout. What figures have you used, they look like Trumpeters. Tell us about the project. How did you construct the wall.

Hello Paul
Yes, I use the Trumpeters of the package. "Wall" is made of gypsum.
Thank you for your reply, nice to meet you.

Nice little diorama, outstanding work, well done.

Except for the wheels of the LAV. They don't touch the ground in a realistic way and seem to"fly" over it...
You should set them down to simulate the weight of the LAV.

Nice little piece. The set up is good, vehicle and figures all placed where they should be, nicely painted. Only the skintone and the uniforms could do with a bit of shading. That's easily done by applying a wash that will settle in the recessed areas of the figures.

Nice work, especially the groundwork and walls. They set the scene well. But like Maurice said, a little shading on the figures would go down well, maybe even some drybrushing if your not too keen on washes.

I think it is very nice . The right front wheel did catch my eye right away since it is not flat on the ground. Otherwise you get a big attaboy from me..........Al

Hello Az
This is a very simple layout, but I did not go on a good performance of it.
I'm glad you like it.
