1:18 Diorama of an Eastern Boarder

Post by granch » Mon Apr 25, 2011 3:21 pm

Hi All,
I'd like to show you a day in a troubled area. Will be interested in your feed-backs. I hope that the flag I've made is pure imagination.
First picks: No trouble for people helping "freedom fighters" of the next country getting some weapons and amunition...

Later in the day, UN reprensentatives have more difficulties (Thank you to the civilian movie heroes who played this unpleasant role).

Just polite handshake over the gate with some foreigners...

Glad to leave this cold, burned lost place and this very small concrete staion:

Well, I've just noticed that my boarder officer was probably sleepy when he stood up for the travellers: he has his goggles in the back... But it is now too late, the picture is on the web.

Thank you all.
For a lybian diorama, if PH build a 1/18 Global Hawk Drone, I could limit the scenery to a black and green IR screen, a cross drawed in the middle and a lot of smoke. :mrgreen:
The UN off-road vehicle is a Mitsubishi Pajero. I think that japanese vehicles are more often to be seen in the middle-east area than Land Roover. And, if you want to know, the military jeep is a genuine Beijing Automobile Works 1/18 model of the BJ2S or BJ-2020, according to picks seen on the pakistan defense site. Interestingly, I've seen also the UN marked, white model of the same SUV... :?
