Beautiful. I think Israeli vehicles are some of the most interesting subjects. Lots of room for detailing and personalizing. I especially like the interaction of the figures to bring this little vignette to life. One could make a career of modeling just doing the M113 varients in the IDF.

Holy crap im blown away but the work you have done Frank.

Totally awesome work, Frank. Really fun to have a look at all that detailed work. And I particularly like the highway the 113's on. Bit different from the usual dio. What did you use as the tarmac?
