Iraq ! It's a tough job but someone's got to do it !

[Alan 45]

Nice little project this was , all wrong of course but to do it in scale on this base would of ment one figure and a lot of empty space


The hut is polystyrene with a coffee stirrer framed roof with corrugated card roof panels just slapped on and bent in places to show an unskilled job , the base is made out of fine and course ballast then cited in baking powder to soften the edges


The figures , bomb disposal are meng and the troop is tamiya but I think they are a rebox of Master Box as that's on the box they came in


Thanks go to ron ( spanner570) and Simon ( eddisolo) for their help[ATTACH]104495.IPB[/ATTACH]

I like it!


All wrong? Nuts, nothing wrong with this.


A great little diorama....


Alan, I see you kept your missus happy putting the chicken in the frame!

[eddiesolo]

Scale wise, it has to be or you end up with a dio that's three foot square lol. Like it, the soldier in the building has that worried uncertain look and pose. Good work, if it goes up fried chicken for dinner.

Came out rather nice actually, doing camo on clothing can be difficult, too heavy handed or too big but it looks like you have nailed it.

Cheers mate it was very blotchy at first so I gave it a dry brush of the original colour to break it up looks like it worked

[Alan 45]

Thank you Polux im glad you like it


I have forgot one thing , there were supposed to be visors for the BD guys but there were none in the box or I didn't see them when I opened the box to have a look on Saturday and they fell out without me knowing

Great job Alan,


Love the story, it's telling, something new and those eod guy's are looking great. The house came out great as well good job on the roof.


If I may make a careful suggestion to your eod guy's, i would put some dust on the boots because Irak is very dusty and they look so clean.


Really like it.


Cheers Rihi

Cammo looks fine Alan.


No visors? No problem....The lads have de-fused the bomb, and are that hacked off working in the intense heat, they have decided it's safe to remove them....sorted!
