"Clear!" The diorama depicts the moment when Special Forces Clear an objective in Iraq. The pickup is from Meng; the figures are from Legend, Verlinden and warriors; and the ruin is from Verlinden.

I followed the building steps and I see the final is great. Congrats Marcos..just one question ; is the Bumper guard scratched? I think it is not a kit part and you didn't mention it in building thread.. if the answer is yes, I need to learn how, because I have this kit on the bench.

Yes it is scratched. I made it from wire and sheet styrene. The following pics are not of my model but are from where I got the idea. I hope they help.

Congratulations on a job well done! It turned out really nice. How did you open the truck's door so cleanly?

Thank you Hisham. I used an exacto and a small(PE) saw to cut the door out. When I did it, it didn't look so clean, but with a little sanding and putty It turned out good.

Nice diorama.

Does the pickup truck come with doors molded on or separate?

Thank you

Doors come molded. You have to cut them open.

This scene really turned out great!! The dead insurgents really look dead,, their wounds/bloodstains and body positions are some of the best I've seen. Congrats!!
