This is the Bandai M61A5 that I have mounted to a base. Just added some grass and bushes. She looks pretty neat in her 'new' environment.

This is the MENG T-10M in 1/35 scale. This was the last heavy tank fielded by the Soviet Union, going into service in 1952 and being retired until 1996.
 I built her straight out of the box with the exception of the Fruilmodel tracks and drilling a hole for the metal antenna.
 She has working suspension which I attempted to display here. Sorry the pics are so dark, I may retake these photos.
The diorama base is just a piece of wood that I spray painted black with a couple of pieces of styrene to contains the plaster. The plaster was put over some screen material which had small rocks underneath to produce some variable height terrain. Then I sprayed the whole thing with Woodland Scenics glue and applied the turf while it was wet. Once that dried I glued down some lichen and sprayed it with more Woodland Scenics glue and applied green turf to that as well. All I think she came out ok, it certainly was fun!
