Sounds like an interesting diorama. It could be as simple as a large number of oil drums with a hand pump and some GI's to man it. Or...you could add a fuel truck, or an ARV, or just some tools. Italeri makes a field tool shop set, and it's only a few bucks. When you get it built post some pictures.

You might want to think about scratch building some pallets for the drums to sit on, perhaps some camo netting to cover some up to........(Depending on how far from the front you want them to be........) .....Oil drums and Jerry cans (Obvious!) stacked lined up, ready to go, etc................

Hey thanks for the replies. Man that would take a while to make and paint all those jerry cans I have looked to the field shop equipment think I will go with that and the verlinden mechanics.
