Interesting critter the RR is mounted on.

 

I like this dio very much.

 

Hey GM, that is an M247 Mule, which was used to transport the 106 RR, supplies and sometimes even the wounded back to the rear. It was phased out in 1977.

Great work! But you need to move the figures out of the backblast area of the 106 recoiless. It is a cone shaped fan to the rear of the breach and deadly to anyone in it when the gun is fired. 

 

I know that stik. The breach is open and the loader is holding onto the next round waiting on the wounded Marine to be carried into the Corpsman's area, so there is no chance of the RR backblast of injuring anyone else.

Hello!

Your dio is lookin' good!

If you would like to improve it a little bit, I'd definitely recommend sprinkling some rubble on the ground and trying to blur the borders between colours on the groundwork - for example between grass patch and pavement or between the wall and the pavement.

Thanks for sharing and have a nice day

Paweł

Before Fallujah and Ramadi, there was Hue, where understrength regiments of the 1st & 5th Marines took on the NVA and Viet Cong in an urban environment.
