Thank you kindly.

Thanks for the info. Hope to see your version soon.

You've just blown my mind!!! AWESOME!!! I will feature this on 'Awesome SCI-FI MODEL Dioramas' Facebook page.

Thanks Chris.

Most welcome.

The diameter of the rims are 16mm.

Thanks for that Roger.

Hi Ben. Could you rephrase the question in layman terms. Are you referring to the rotatable wheel in front of the tracks?

Thank you kindly. Glad you like it.

kind regards Jim. glad you like the results.

Thank you for that wonderful remark.

Will do when the weather permits. Thank you. The M915 kit contains both semi-trailer and tractor. I heavily modified the kit to make it a single flatbed. The kit is great and well detailed. I just don't like the tires mounting method. They could have improved in that area. I was hoping for something more like Italeri's Tyre mounts. The most easiest tyres to mount. Much appreciated. Thank you kindly.

Thanks gents. Much appreciated.

This is a build I have been working on for some time now. It's a heavy modification of the M915 kit from Trumpeter. As always, I decided to spice things up a bit. I wanted to do something different. So, I kit-bashed the trailer and tractor to bring forth this combo unit. The name came about by using the first number of the M915 and the 2 last digits of the M872 trailer. Hence, M972, which is a combination of both. The Hitachi excavator is from Hasegawa which I built as a burnt out model. The idea came from the pic I found while searching the web. Lots of pics. Hope you like the results.

Late reply but thank you.

Thank you Ron for your comment. Glad you like the diorama.

Thank you Andy. Glad you like the result. This was actually version two of the diorama. I am glad I scraped version one.

Appreciate it Kennedy.

Thank you kindly. I know, that in real life situations, things should apply according to the physics law of mechanics and nature. But, it doesn't always apply to some. As the pic shows. HAHA. Heck, they stick an anti aircraft gun at the back of a pickup. That should say it all.

Thanks Ricky, but a pic says a thousand words. I'm just modeling. ;):

Much appreciated. Glad you approve. Thanks for takin the time to view this thread.

Thanks. I know its not everyone cup of tea but but....

Ok guys. This is another non-civilian diorama. Not your cup of tea but a diorama none-the-less. I have been working on for some time now. It has taken a while and the major factor of that is the figures. As I am not a figure painting individual, I wanted to take as much time as possible with this diorama as to not compromise the entirety of it, due to bad figure painting. I have a little detail to add but it is complete now as-is. It's only the name, I am not too certain about. I wanted 'Rebellion' but I saw it was already taken by another fantastic diorama by a fellow modeller. So, if you all have a better name than what I already have; with impact to the diorama, I would be very grateful. The diorama is based during the Libyan conflict. The opposition is holding ground in a nearby compound where they are at a stand-off with government troops, loyal to Khadaffi. They get extra reinforcement from two fellow komparerades who are running towards the on-going fire-fight.hope you all like this build as well as my figure painting.

I think I have improved just a little since my last figure painting job.
