Finally finished.
This is the Tamiya M1A2 modeled as a USMC M1A1HC.
The figures are Dragon 3020 U.S. TAnk Crew, slightly modified poses with Warrior heads.
The kit is mounted to a piece of particle board for shipping and the figures are held temporarly in place with blu-tac.
As I said before, this is my first post-WWII tank.
I had so much fun I've ordered another.
All comments welcome.
Cheers, Charles

I like how you have used the figures on this kit. Certainly brings more life to it to the kit.
Great job for your first modern kit!

Great job for ANY kit!
This one looks excellent. The figures are outstanding and as Jazza says, really brings life to your Abrams. But are'nt all the optics supposed to have a "redish" laser coat?

Nicely done and I particularly like the way that you have modified the Dragon stock figures to help set the scene.

Good job there. As the other members I do appreciate the way you use the figures. I hope you'll post further pics of the vignette when you're done.

Fantastic job, the figures compliment the kit very well!
I am currently working on the Tamiya Abrams myself and have been pondering the thought of adding figures but now after seeing your results, the decision is obvious. Great job!
