Randy D Posted October 17, 2016 Posted October 17, 2016 (edited) Hi Folks, Have been working on this off an on. Building a one foot square diorama that features an old 'cat' out back of a general contractor's lot. Timeframe is the 80's and the D7 that was war surplus has been sitting for a few years. The D7 is from Mirror Models.... Below is a pic from their web site, a really nice kit of almost 600 parts. Here are a few reference shots from an auction site.... some progress pics.... That is all for now, Thanks for looking in! Randy Edited October 29, 2016 by Randy D

dptydawg Posted October 18, 2016 Posted October 18, 2016 Great job of building the D7. I wish e that they would build this kit in 1/24 or 1/25th scale for all of us non military modelers Carl
Tesla Posted October 18, 2016 Posted October 18, 2016 The weathering is off the charts! Beautiful work Randy.
Randy D Posted October 24, 2016 Author Posted October 24, 2016 Hi Folks, Thanks Matt, I think this one is their best yet. Richard, Just trying to keep up with you my friend Hi Scott, Thanks Mate ! Hi Mark, Glad you like it. Carl, Thank you and I know what you mean. Hello Fabrizio, Thanks buddy! Hi Dennis, Appreciate the kind words! Some progress, Ground cover added to the base... Making up a two wall wedge shaped building to anchor the back of the scene. Plastruct sheet goods and strip stock. adding some detail and power pole ... Small tree to finish the left side of the back... The right side of the back gets a fence corner... That is all for now, Thanks for looking in! Randy
