This is my new diorama called "Little General".
The Universal Carrier is a Tamiya kit updated with Eduard photo etch, Resicast stowage set, Resicast tracks, and some scratch built details.
The figures are from a wide range of different manufactures such as Royal Model, Tamiya, Dougs, Wolf, Azimut, and Nemrod. Most of the figures have been altered in some way and most have received replacement heads from Hornet.
Thanks

The attention to detail on the figures, carrier and vegetation is stunning. Even the ruts in the road look fantastic.

Really well done, Bart. There is often a "lighter" side of war and you've portrayed it in a unique way.

Fantastically well composed scene Bart, tells a great story and the eye is drawn over everything very nicely. The style reminds me quite a bit of Verlinden's. Figures are great too, especially the guy saluting the kid and the one smoking beside him. Vegetation is good aswell. Real nice work Bart.

Very cool Bart. Good idea and execution. The contrasting colours of the child, mother and flowers attract the eye through all the greens, olive drab and brown colours. Like this a lot.
