Hi guys

Thanks for the nice words!

Regarding the barrel of the machine gun on the passenger seat, it is indeed a little bit warped.
Thanks for the warning!
That's a a common problem with resin kit, and it will need a little bit of heat to get to the right position :)


As for the final diorama, it will take at least some years to get it finished.
My friend wants to put so many things on it (a street with some big buildings and a mosque,
many figures, around 10 big vehicles, 1 helicopter, etc.) that it not be easy to complete in a short time.

I have offered myself to build him a couple of the vehicles (Iraq and modern AFVs are not my hottest
modeling area of interest,  so after a couple I will probably get bored :)), but the rest is still a ton of work
that needs to be done. We will see what the future brings.

For now I am choosing the next one to build. I will keep you informed :)

You modeling skill and painting skill are exquisite. Far beyond mine. Now why should i never base paint my model black? Or pure black. Is it a shading thing. Or a scale perspective thing.
