Bill Cross combines a Trumpeter M1117 Guardian (ASV) kit, some DEF Model resin tires and a Dioramas Plus "Iraqi Street Scene" kit for a look at life on the street OIF-style.

Great job Bill. It looks awesome. I really like how you blended it all together with teh washes and dusting.

Great Bill
I should recycle mine.
On the handle on the front hatch It is a piece of rubber normaly paint in green. The rest is so good
Love the street. Maybe a overview pics please
Seb

Thanks, Gino, coming from you that means a lot, considering you were there serving your country.

Seb, you're right, I didn't paint those handle covers "Sky" like I planned to. I will, and will add a photo or two of the street base.

looks great

Beautiful Job Bill!

Fantastic weathering job!

Nicely Done. The fuel staining is particularly well done.

Happy Modeling, -zon

Well done, Bill. Great weathering and light chipping without overdoing it.

Well this is a nice one
One observation if you don't mind Bill.
Middle eastern streets are usually not this clean, you will find at kind of litter and other debris laying around.

Did a fine job on this one !
Cheers
Christopher

Awesome diorama Bill, now let get them figures added.

Happy Modeling,
Joe

Thanks, Christopher, it's a work in progress, so I will def take you up on that suggestion. Coming up with authentic litter is the challenge, of course.

All the rest of you, thanks!

Figures I'm not sure about. The M1117 doesn't have an interior and there isn't an AM one, so it would seem odd having soldiers on the ground and the vehicle all shut up?

UPDATE: I added some photos of the Iraqi Street Scene building without the vehicle as requested.

Great job Bill,
Only I noticed a little mistake, the headlights are in the wrong position.
Sorry, maybe I'm mistaken.....
Like the scene..
