If you had/made any 1/35th buckets this could be one interesting dio.

How hard would it to remake this picture into dio. One of the post I seen said it's all you needed was someone throughing rocks at it and it would look real. I forgot who said it. I think I am goona do this as my next tank model after I finish my Iraq t-62a or m model. I will ask my wife to get me the maverak from Tamiya for me for x-mas.

That would be me in reference to Eran's Merkava IIb in the RRB. I believe the Academy Merkava II or III is supposed to be a better choice for a current Merkava.

It's a game where the one throws a bucket in the hopes that it gets to be hung on the muzzle. Sort of like pin the tail on the donkey.

Well, having been in the various refugee camps, I can tell you they don't have too many spare anti-tank weapons laying around.
No, they are not 'weird.' For the most part, they are just people trying to do their thing.
If a tank rolls down your street you might try the same thing (unless you have a spare TOW missle in your closet).
Images like this certainly show us that the Israelis have some special considerations when it comes to tank design!

For this one, you're going to need Academy's Merkava III, and either the AEF Baz set, or a lot of scratching...
Of course the judges are going to lady that you're hiding bad modelling with all the crap on top...

Hi Really nice photo. Much detail on the debris a vehicle can pick up in a combat zone.
No matter which side you may happen to fall on in this continuing squabble going on in the Middle East, you have to admire that guy. His testosterone levels must have been moving pretty good that day. Maybe I'm just too old anymore, but I'll be damned if I would be getting out and throw anything at one of these monsters unless I was pretty sure it was going to have some effect on it, one way or the other. You know?
Take care, sgirty

Kind of reminds you of Tiananmen Square with the guy standing there in front of the Chinese T-69 (I believe) and replicating it's every move.

He know's the IDF won't shoot him,
because he hates the persones inside, but they don't hate him.
And don't forget if this soldiers won't come in a tank to stop some riots they will be bruthely killed just out of hate
anyway enough of politics. This would be a good dio idee. The tank is a modified merkava 3 baz to build it you need the academy merkava 3 and AEF Baz ubdate and some scretch building.

MERKAVA Mk3,
Yes Reality and polotics aside. This picture would make an EXCELLENT Dio. The items that come to mind:
1) Academy Merkava
2) Eduard details
3) Coree Update and Armor
4) Academy IDF figures
5) HMM what for citizens, maybe historex muti-pose
6) city ruins from Custom Dioramics w/ debri from Hudson & Allen
Can ya think of anything else. This deffinately has potential.

Uh yeah, sure. Trust me, there's enough hate on both sides to go around.
I don't think they are rolling the tank to stop a riot...
This would be a nice small scale dio with the Revell's new Merkave 3...

I am left wondering what was in those buckets. If a refugee camp is anything like a construction site, there wouldn't be any toilet facilities handy. So an empty bucket could serve many purposes. And if you do not have any weapons, what better to throw at your enemy than whay you can afford to and maybe cause something more than a stink. Sort of a refugee camp answer to sh*t smeared pungee sticks.

They have toilets...
I know, when we think refugee camps we imagine tents or cardboard shacks. Kind of a deceiving title.
Plenty of hunks of concrete laying around these places though.

Seeing this photo reminded me of a converstion I had with my wife last week. The school where she teaches is a private catholic school. Every year, the dorky headmaster puts together a large nativity scene (we're talking mega here folks)... My suggestion to her (to give it some 'social content' was for me to present a Merkava and some suitably converted figures to add the realism that these scenes are so often lacking. Her response is not suitable for reproduction here.... Jim
