tiking

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.

Thank you Crazyjim. Thank you Simon. Glad you liked it.

Thank you. I used fine grade sandpaper to represent asphalt road.

Thanks.

It was done simply by masking the under coat with Tamiya tape and painting over it. I have since re-done the diorama. Will post pics as soon as I can.

I'm not really a car guy but I had these kits on hand because I had planned to use them in a truck diorama. But, something else came up and I just decided to make a separate diorama for them instead. The diorama depicts a pedestrian crossing with two automobiles and a couple of people crossing or waiting to cross the street. The story tells a tale of a very impatient driver in the van trying to tell the driver in front of him,who is checking out the lady with the dog, crossing the road, to drive on; and if you look closely in one of the pictures, you will see a sign warning pedestrian to update Facebook, before crossing the street. The diorama is pretty simple. I just wanted to have a display base, that' pretty much it. Hope you guys like the results:

Hello Dominik. Unfortunately, as stated, this has be dismantled. I will be starting a new one very soon. Appreciate your interest.

Thank you. Yes. There would have been vehicles on this one. I have since torn this diorama down. I was not satisfied with the size and the glue was loosening from the base. I am doing a smaller diorama of this one. There will only be two vehicles instead of the four I had planned for this dio. As well as figures

Hahahaaha!!! Ok. Understood.

Thanks. Glad you like it.

Not sure. I got it off the internet based on companies in Poland.

This is not a WIP thread,just wanted to share a few pics of what I am working on. I just did not know where to post unfinished projects. This is another 1/24 scale diorama. So far, this is what I have. I have already made some minor changes after these pics were taken. Will post the final pics in the appropriate forum.

Thank you so much. Now let see if I can stomach up enough energy to start on the next project.

Thanks man. I really appreciate your kind comments and support in building this diorama. Now it's onto the next the build.
