Hi all,
I've finished work on my 1/144 diorama set, and hopefully have done it some justice! It depicts two T-72s of the Iraqi Army in 2003 guarding a bridge over a canal.
One of the vehicles is dug in, while a soldier behind it inspects supplies and a newly delivered DShK machine-gun. A soldier rests in a sandbag emplacement, and on the bridge, a second T-72 has arrived, waiting to be let across. A civilian has approached, and a third soldier is telling him that he'll need to wait for them to finish before he himself is allowed to pass.
Overall this was a fun build! The trickiest part was the water, and getting it to set within the dome shape. There were a few leakages. The kit also came with about 6 other soldiers, but on close inspection these turned out to be US troops, so I had no need for them on this one. Also, it came with 4 palm trees, but I don't think I could have made these work. So here we are! Enjoy!
Many thanks,
Greg
