Terry the treatment you gave the canvas on the Hummer looks great,very authentic. I'm with Joe the figures will look fine set in the dio.

Cheers Trey.

I think they look great Terry! 1/35 scale

figures are hard enough, let alone these smaller ones top job!

This morning I have started to add some of the figures to the Dio. The Hummer and the figures in and around it have been glued in place as has the guy with the snake catchers pole. The figure with the under carriage door is just dry positioned as there is a couple of things I need to finish on him.[ATTACH]87386.IPB[/ATTACH]

The bloke with the door looks like Murdoch from the A-Team. Stick a cigar in his hand or mouth, perfect Seriously though Terry, they look very good. The snake is quite convincing.

Thanks Joe the snake still needs a little work.

Today I have stuck the pallets in place and the drop tank. The trailer has had a little work done on it but still needs a bit more. The pylons on it are only dry fitted to see how they will look. For me this is really starting to turn out how I envisaged it. As with any build there are little bits that are niggling me but over all I am happy.

This morning I finished the rest of the figures and all but two are now stuck in place. I am having trouble deciding where to place the trailer. Either behind the Hummer or beside the drop tank.

With the snake now in place all that is needed is a few minor bits on the airframe and this one is done I think! I have decided to leave the trailer next to the drop tank as when I placed it behind the Hummer it made the front of the dio look to busy.

This is brilliant Terry.Lots to look at in this diorama.The snake is a nice touch.

[Guest]

Thanks Dave I am really pleased with it. As I said in one of the posts earlier there are a few bits to finish on the airframe that will have to wait until I come back from Cornwall next Saturday. I am now waiting to hear if I can use an image I have found as the backdrop again that will have to wait. If I haven't heard by then I will just post the build without as finished.
