Stephen- great work on this dio. The HESCO's are really well done- the little signs here and there are a neat touch. The landy is suitably dirty for the presence of the power washer- is that a scratch-built item?

Very nice. The grass in the Hescos is a nice touch. Apparently though - not everyone got the memo.

Looks very good. I like this dio, the dust on car looks very realistic.

Cheers

Real nice dio...hesco's do look fantastic, and the poses of the figures is very natural and relaxed.

If I'd done my Meng pickup like 18B's photo someone would have said the weathering doesn't look right!

I always laughed at the idea of car washes in Afghanistan, though they were all over the place. Thanks for the picture.

Really original and very effective diorama! I love it!
Nice lay out, great job on the figures and brilliant painting and weathering.

Best regards,
