A wadi diorama during the first battle/defense of El Alamein, with a universal carrier resupplying a working AT gun. The unit is the East Yorks Regiment.

It is very intentionally an homage of sorts to classic kits, both kits and the figures being 1970s vintage with no aftermarket at all, though lots of scratch bits. Hope you all like it!

Very, very nice!!

I would only add some wheel marks from the cannon on the dirt, everything around it looks undistrubed, specially after firing so much there would be some marks...

I liked how it captures the moment of the action and figures are very well painted and can see the details and expressions.

Cool!

Yeah, very nice work there on both the vehicles and the figures!

Thanks for posting your work for us to see.

Thanks.. the ground around the gun looks better in person I think, definitely a bit worn!
