Seeing I had to stop working on my LAV's, I thought I could start thinking up a lay out for something new... and no, it is not going to be something small, I like it big.... The idea is a couple of tanks on a hill overlooking a road, a convoy on that road.... 100x50 cm... 12 vehicles... this is the basic outlay... to see if it fits, how many fit...  the players in this part will be:  And to show you which player is where...  Not sure about 2 two religious players.. might send them off.. because there are 3 more players on their way that I might add in their place:    Off course there will be stowage and figures.... So dear audience... what do you think? Suggestions, additions, retractions, changes, I am open to suggestions... |

Thanks, the LAV thing will be on the floor but has wheels... will be able to push that aside whenever needed... the IDF thing not sure yet, but have a room upstairs with shelves on the wall, now still filled with unbuild kits..
I always made these kind of dio's a kid but then in 1/72, and when I restarted I wanted to change to 1/35..

So, as the LAV thing is finished, I have started on this.. I won't be using the gun as IDf did use this Dodge but not the gunmounted version. This scene will be siutated in '67, one of those six days...   |

That Bilek kit is quite a good rendering of the Dodge  . A little TLC and it will look amazing  |

Looks good Bert . Those old Italeri kits can still hold their worth today . I might have a better fitting driver figure in the stash, I'll a look later today and PM you. |
