Diorama with little bird and humvee

[Dan the Modeler]

Thanks Dan. Glad to hear, even so, I think the diorama is missing something.... but what?

Been thinking about that since you posed the question. Only thing I see that needs something, is the other side of the road. Little Bird and the troops are all facing in that direction, like looking for something. So after some thought, I think I would pull the HMMWV and place the left front tire off the road and onto the gravel acting as a barrier, and put a set of modern mine sweeping team on the other side of the road starting a search/sweep. Maybe something like these, with or without the EOD guys. Just a thought, it adds action to the full diorama, and adds a focal point that all the motion there points to. Also adds suspense as to that focus. HTH.

Is that the Tamiya 1/48 version?

This was the Takom 1/16

Looking at the seller's other items, my guess is he is his own brand. Appears to specialize in 3D printed figures, homegrown probably.

Yep.. Will look for other options
