If it's 1/48th - first thought - big, if its 1/35th - second thought BIG.

Very nice idea, M16s were used quite a bit as bridge protection, so it's very accurate that way. Be careful of the plastic of the 109 and the resin you use, some will be to hot and melt detail.
I've got one picture of an M16 on a concrete embankment near a bridge head. You may be able to concentrate the dio by moving the M16 closer to the water in this way.

Howdy skytrainboy,

Our good member slodder is absolutely right about the scale issue as well as his points about the M16's being used for remaining bridge protection. A suggestion (and I think slodder was hinting at this) If you've got the room, you could do a 'forced' perspective dio.........just a thought.
