1/18 BBI Navy SEAL Training Diorama

Post by granch » Thu Aug 01, 2013 6:00 am

When I think about the worst training I had during my military time in the Swiss Army, it comes all the time to the usual infantry activities under NBC conditions. "Light" (only "gas" attacks, for training purpose, it was tear gas) or "heavy" (liquid chemical attack).
OK, I haven't been a Navy SEAL at all, and BBI never released its NBC specialist. But I tried to make this small diorama:

Same scenery in the night, where the wounded soldier on its stretcher is better seen:

My firework where wet, so could'nt realise a lot of pics, and so I changed the gasmask for NVG helmets:

Very cool looking diorama! I like the way you use the natural surroundings in all your dioramas.
Great work!

Those old-style BBI figures still look great after all these years! Nice job with your latest setup :D

Your use of lighting and scenery is exceptional :!:

...along with your photographic skills.
