Has anyone mentioned the jeep? On it’s own precision-built & best seats I’ve seen. Figures – awesome. Faces – brilliant. For me the best vignettes/dioramas are those where you can imagine what happened a minute before and a minute after - with this one it’s not hard to imagine what happened over a couple of hours before or over several days later

Thanks, Tim. I am glad you like the diorama and that you noticed the seats. I wish the rest of the M151 turned out as well as the seats did. I had to spray the gloss coat outside and I thought all was good, but here in Oklahoma there is dust in the air almost all the time and some settled on the hood while the gloss coat was still glossy. The seats are aftermarket and the paint job just happened to work out well. I was hoping that this diorama's story was easy to understand and I guess it actually work out.
Cheers,
James
