Very early stages with this one , not showed or added any photo`s of anything I`ve done for a long time even though I`ve got about 7 projects on the go - mostly F1 builds , this one is in the early stages the base is there - mdf 12x8 base - part verlinden gated wall , tamiya M113A2 and dragon US marines and finally a verlinden dead iraqi insurgent , the M113 and marines have had a primer, base coat and a pre-shade , the desert camo on the marines should be a laugh ? apart from that eveything else should be a pop.

the last photo shows how small the M113 is compared to the Bradley and Abrams M1A1 I`m building

Thanks Tony , still a lot to do on the M113 and figures , the base will be kept very simple ie a desert track etc with a few bits of greenline tuffs of short grass here and there also plan to add a few urban refuge bits which I`ve just ordered from accurate armour which I hope will bring it to life a little bit more but be in the background.

cheers

Really nice work Richy. Where are the other 2 vehicles going? Doesn't look like there's too much room on this dio?

Figures and AFVs look great I'll be really interested to see the final piece.

Cheers
