Quoted Text

Unfortunately, changing the title won't be correct either. All and I mean all, Strykers deployed to Iraq have the SLAT armor installed. So it would still be inaccurate. Also, by the time the Strykers were deployed, the insurgency and road-side IEDs were in full swing. The HMMWV would need to be uparmored with either an ASK (Armor Survivability Kit) or home-made plate armor. Unarmored HMMWVs didn't last long once the IEDs started in the summer of '03.



Oh, Gino....thanks a lot and appreciate for info....I will use this as the reference....especially when next time I make another Stryker (even or modify this one with another dio) also the HMMWV shall need to be installed more as what you said and what you did with your Stryker (Wonderful Strykers you made.).
Actually I like the Bronco one (M114) which provide us for many things, right? But I bought the Tamiya one, the accessories are difficult to fine here in Thailand. (So sad )

P.S. How can I show more pictures I took here? Because as what you guys said, too many error I did with this dio....I feel ashamed... (I already finished them all and took those pictures)... ..............
Just kidding...I will keep continue post more picture I took from this dio...to let you guys here fell free to comment...for me using as a lesson learn...

Thank you all.....

Where did the Chicken feathers come from?

As this method is to me, the best method I have seen so far of creating palm fronds.

Just trying to work out how one goes about getting chicken feathers.
I dont live on, or near a farm

Only thing I can think of is a feather duster.

Yes...these from feather duster made from chicken feather which plenty in Thailand, almost every house have this.
The chicken breed should be specific breed for this type of duster as well to get better longer feather.

Really nice, my compliments I love big dioramas.
Only a question, the total dimensions of the diorama, including height?

Very clever and creative way to make palm trees. I look forward to trying that myself in a future project.

Great idea for the palm trees and the layout works really well. Top job with the scratchbuilding and thanks for breaking down all the steps so we get a chance to see how it's all put together.
Cheers.
