Patriot MIM-104 Display

[MickE]

I just finished this diorama in time for the Weston Super Mare show. It is the Trumpeter M901 Launching Station and AN/MPQ-53 Radar kit

That's the first lot.

Here's the next.

These are the last.

Looks great!

And expensive. (Btw, I think I saw a HEMTT w. a patriot battery on ebay, but it was costly.)

Artistically, I think a non skewed runway pattern would look better for these items though.

[MickE]

Thanks Housesparrow it wasn't that expensive, I got it for £65 at last year's Nationals.

Very nicely done Mick, reminds me of Farnborough, lovely detailing.

All the best Chris

Thanks Chris I got the idea from a picture off the net, which was taken at some airshow somewhere.

Very nice. The camouflage pattern looks especially well rendered. Always liked the NATO three-tone scheme.

[phildagreek]

That's good! Something a bit different & neat paint job.

[MickE]

Thanks chaps.

I must admit the cammo pattern was a right pig to paint on the launcher and missile boxes, particularly as it was my first go at the NATO tri-scheme! I practiced first on an old junked T-72 until I was happy with it.

Splendid camouflage. What a nice touch to have him and his boy.

Cheers guys. I found the figure on the Hobby Link Japan and thought it would be perfect for the dio. It looks like there is a woman to go with them, The sculpting is not brilliant however, particularly their faces.
