Mario - yes, these are Meng resin. Here You are - some photos of whole set:
http://humvee-models.com/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=1548Al - thanks a lot
When I look 'live' at these figures I may say that everything is ok with their eyes. At these photos - a little bit different reception. I'll take a look one more time this evening.

Kuba, these Marine figures are why I am sad to see this being your last work. You are at the top of your game. The shading is perfect. You really have captured the look of coyote gear perfectly. You didn't overdo the fading or highlighting effects, they are just right. You also did a great job on the desert MARPAT. It is the best I've seen short of resorting to decals!
Regards,
Eric

But I doubt whether it is suitable for modelling magazine. Sometimes I read such magazines and I see how amazing showed dioramas could be. Light years from what I did here. Maybe I could show the final result as a feature here on Armorama, if not - I'll be happy to show it in ordinary gallery. Thanks again for Your appreciation.
Don't sell yourself short, Kuba. This is one of the best dioramas I've seen. Keep up the fantastic work.
I do some 3D design work. Message me for more info on what I'm doing or have done. Inquire about a product catalog.

Beautiful job on the radio and FBCB2. Your missing a couple of more cables on the radio if you don't know already.

I remember about hand mike wires. But forgot about W4 cables. Thanks,
Pete Chameleon controller. I didn't attach much importance to this element, it will be in the trunk and I don't know if I can make the trunk cover as removable. Even if, it won't be well visible behind the other stowage. But the correctness of electronic gear is fulfilled.
Dimensions are 18x8 mm.

Hi Kuba, first very beutiful kit and diorama
what brand is the chameleon controller unit from? Or is that scratchbuild? If so send pictures to somebody that can 3d print it.. It would be amazing! Looking forward to see the final result of the diorama

Hakan, I asked Kuba about the chameleon controller a few posts back. He scratched it. It would be something for Michael Goldberg to do if someone can get him good references.
