now that the scene is completed, I have been working on the M113. some details still missing, some silvering on the decals even though I sandwitched them between two layers of clearcoat, but all in all I'm happy with the result so far.

hello!

 

I'm working on this m 48 patton tank included in the vietnam italeri set.   the idea of the scene is showing an m113 crossing a village and finding this m 48 tank knocked out , kind of like a warning or omen of what's waiting beyond in the jungle...

 

I still need to add the figures ( some vietnam villagers and the m113 crew ) which will the final step of this diorama.

I just painted the first figure to go on the m113.

 

this figure is 3d printed from germania-figuren. I think they look good , except for the m16 that need more details
