lawman56 Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 Since I've been slacking in the LSP construction lately, mostly due to a remodel of my garage/man cave, I figured I'd at least post a picture of my most recently completed diorama. To be honest, I don't know if I've ever actually posted any of my work. This is the Tamiya M21 mortar carrier, with a modified crew, on it's way through a village in France. andromeda673 and BiggTim 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 Nice looking display. I've always liked the M3. I had the big Trumpeter M16, but sold it. It's on my short list of kits to reacquire though. lawman56 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClumsyDude Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 Wow, I really like that. Figures are first rate, and painting and weathering on the half track is top notch. Good job. Jim lawman56 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyT Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 Excellent, love the detail, extra straps and superb painting, well done. I often wonder about the wisdom of tyres on the front as they cut down visibility, though not as much as when they drop the armour. we used to have land rovers in the RAF and used to chuck them in the back as you couldn't see squat over them lawman56 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I often wonder about the wisdom of tyres on the front as they cut down visibility, though not as much as when they drop the armour. we used to have land rovers in the RAF and used to chuck them in the back as you couldn't see squat over them I put a lot of thought into that before I mounted it there. We had a similar issue in Desert Storm with our Humm-Vee spares. The 1st generation had no tire rack on the rear, and we couldn't mount them to the rear hatch, (would interfere with the hatch locks), and there was no place inside with all the ammo and gear, so we mounted them on the hood, but off-set as I did here. My driver figured it would double as an impromptu sandbag of sorts. I tried to put it as close to the right edge as possible. This keeps the fighting compartment clear, gives additional small arms protection, and allows decent forward visibility. Besides, it gave me an excuse to have a standing figure!

lawman56 Posted June 17, 2016 Author Share Posted June 17, 2016 Thanks for all the kind words. I'm slowly incorporating my attention to detail into my aircraft builds. Since my garage/man cave is currently undergoing a remodel, (which will allow me to add my second hobby of HO railroading to the fold), I'll try to go through and see what I may have posted of my builds. On a side note, so far my aircraft displays are the typical "sitting on the flight line" kind of thing. I'm going to attempt changing that by adding a little bit at a time.
