Title for the dio will be "Lost in Lebanon '82". Just ordered a nice wooden base for it to finnish it off.

Thank you Mike. Think I am done with it. Any suggestions or obvious mistakes? I will try to post better pictures tomorrow. Thank you all for following! I am deciding about my next project. It will be either the Armata or the T-90MS. Not sure yet. Other options are the LMV Lince or the RSOV land Rover.

Hi Marcos,

Take all the credit for a brilliant paint job then - I was convinced that the rope was real.

Well done sir!

Excellent model - looking forward to the finished diorama.

Regards,
Kobus

Thank you Nick and Kobus. The rope in front of the M151 came molded in the CMK resin front fender. I only take credit for the paint job :-)

Hi Marcos,

Excellent modeling sir!.

I really like the rope you have on the front fender of the M151 - it looks very real - what did you use?

Regards,
Kobus

Ha! Lost and stuck behind a mule drawn cart! I like the steep hill on both sides of the trail - makes it pretty clear what the problem is!

Keep going!

Thank you John and Nick. Well, I am pretty much done with all the figures. I think this will be the general distribution of the diorama.What do you guys think?:

Great work! Question - does anyone offer a very late version US Army -151 with the retrofitted roll bar? I remember seeing some NG units with those when I first got in, seemed like a pretty cool ride.

Can't believe that troops had to drive these thing w/o the rollbar. Heard a lot of guys got killed when they rolled.
