It's been awhile, but I have been making some advances with this one. As I said before, the forced perspective idea is out the window, along with the T-72 (not literally, I'll use that for another diorama some time). The design is now a lot simpler, due to the lack of time avaliable after loosing my progress. It's now fully in 1/35, with the four Spetsnatz operators taking cover behind a BMP-2 during the ambush. The sniper, directed by his commander, joins the BMP in firing on a distant Chechen-occupied building.

The sniper and commander are shown here, I haven't finished the other two yet. BMP is constructed but unpainted. The base isn't finished yet, it will have a few bits scattered around, but it's supposed to resemble the dirt-and-dust covered open areas you can see in many pictures of Grozny.

How's progress Greg?

After your set back you've certainly pulled this out of the fire. It's looking well.

Top marks for perseverence!

Thanks for the comments guys. This one's coming along slowly, but it's geting there. Painting on the BMP is practically done, just need to start weathering it and adding the fine details. Apologises for the blurry pics, was done in a bit of a hurry (plus it's not the best camera)
