Hi all,

A recent find on eBay, I picked up a very small diorama set from MiniHobbyModels, which for £10 I thought was worth a go. I've never done 1/144 before, and I do like sets like this!

The set comes with a circular diorama base in a dome for display, and two T-72s, some infantry, and some accessories. It's actually surprisingly detailed given the size, and I'm going to try and do it justice, as I think it's quite a rare one now.

Pictures of the kit below, including one of the T-72s which I put together in about three minutes :smiling5: complete with Tamiya universal scale guide to show how small these things really are!

Thanks,
Greg

This stuff is even too small for me! I do like the level of detail that has gone into these models. Painted up and weathered, they should look really good. Have fun Greg. Rick H.

Looks good but I would need to go to Specsavers before I could build that.

Are you kidding??? They are tricky in 1/87 scale, I can't imagine doing something half again smaller......break out the Mega optics:flushed:

Hi Greg
A bargain I'd say and certainly fun. A lot of stuff and the detail is impressive for the scale. Painting the figures will be fun :rolling:

Thankfully, about half of the figures turned out to be US troops, so I couldn't really use them :smiling5:

This one has been finished now, and is in the Completed section. Thanks all!
