The work in progress. Bit of an advanced stage of the construction. Ready to give it a OD/Black camo scheme prior to marking and weathering.





Apologies for the crapness of the photos.

Looks like a really good start! Glad to see someone doing a US/Allied subject for a change. Is it out of the box, or did you use any PE? Anxious to see the setting for the dio. Should prove quite interesting.

Thanks Paul- It's OOB so far, but I'm gonna try to do it as the vehicle in the picture in the following link, so will need to make jerrycan racks at least.

Thanks guys-
I have to say that I'm not particularly 'dioramic', so making a decent job of one will be the major challenge.

Ha ha, I think my family used to have that carpet! Great job on this. Not something usually seen, so it is that much more interesting.

Yours photos are just fine. If there is anything wrong, it is that the first is slightly small, but it isn't that big of a deal.

The paper does a very nice job of hiding the trench I made in the carpet when a hot soldering iron escaped.
The photos are rubbish cos it was in the dark, minutes before rushing off to work.
