Is anyone considering building a diorama based around any recent events in Afghanistan? Sure there were no M1 Abrams tanks involved. But there were plenty of T-55's, and other Soviet AFV's.

If you are and have a question about it - post it here.

Hey Jim,
I currently working on the Samolia dio and getting ready to take some oictures and start on the article this weeked. I'm gathering up stuff for an Afghan dio as we speake. I'm waiting for the new figures from ICM and I have a couple of vehicles, but caint decide what to use. Of course all the Marine variants of the LAV are there too.

Pete,
You did a great job on that dio too. I hope everyone is checking it out. Do you have any new projects you are working on now?

Jim

yes, I am planning to built something around the afghanistan events. coming from wwII modelling I am moving towards building modern AFV's too and thus need some extra lessons concerning modern tanks. to be honest I still have diffculties in distinguishing a t55 from a t62 and a t72 from a t80...
but I think t55 and t62 were used from northern alliance and I hope to have finished a small diorama by autumn..

Nothing that I'm setting my mind to finish. I'm ust bouncing around on acouple of kits on my work desk. Once a week I go up to my desk and try to set aside a couple of kits I want to concentrate on and finish, but it never happens.
