Nice finish! But I would suggest staggering them on opposite sides of the road angled out away from each other “herringbone” style. You don’t want to stop your vehicles nut to butt so close together in a combat zone.

Rob, this is another excellent diorama idea.

 

Spend decades in service and you get to live lots of diorama ideas.

I noticed the backwards tracks too. Here's a photo of my old M48A5 and an M113A2 we were railloading back in the day (1984).

Did this awhile back and thought perhaps it might be interesting. Tamiya's M-48A3 with DEF turret upgrade, suspension lowered about 3mm, AFV club workable indy track link set, scratched bustle, turret base blended, and bow sharpened up. I added the M-60 to the '132 turret and figures are a mix of Verlinden, Academy, Masterbox, and a few combos from the parts box.

I like the various media and layout of the diorama with the water,vegetation, and figures. The figures really add the color and scale.

Thanks gents

Whoops

Gonna have to live with it I guess as the vehicles are permanantly attatched to the base. I'll fix it on the next one.

See 1943 Mike, even those of us who've been doing this for years can bungle things

Reminds me of finishing up the last 6 months in Giessen.

Some things never change! Did this many times at Mannheim, Graf, and Hohenfels. Just got very good at it.

Nice work there! Despite the little stuff the AFVs look great and effective use on the figures. Maybe it's just me but I really like seeing figures thrown in there if nothing else to give a sense of scale of the vehicles.

I love those AFVC tracks. I used them on my build. I hope they're still workable though. You, um, kinda got 'em on backwards. 

Also, as I mentioned to Mike in his thread, the center vision block for the driver should be down so he can see. 

Now that that is out of the way, you did a magnificent job on that scene! That's awesome! :D

I love the damage you replicated on the light guard next to the missing fender! Top notch detail there!

Love it!

Wow!!

Now I see how it's supposed to be done!

Thank you Mark for the information, comments and patience with this armor novice. I am grateful.
