 :-* Now that is an excellent piece of scenery - the groundwork and the car in particular. A1.
The camo looks rather good too. Can we see some closer shots?
Nice.

Lovely stuff, as the good Captain says, excellent scenery. Who makes the figures? Are they HLBSC?

I've seen dioramas that don't look as good as that.  You've realy captured the look.  8)

Does that plate say 91? Have the insurgents reached Essonne? Crikey, they're almost at the gates of Paris. Doesn't seem like we're winning the War on Terror! (Or maybe they just wanted to beat up on the French for a bit) Though 91 used to be Algiers. That would make more sense.*


Just kidding. Looks really great. Flawless.




*Sorry, French number plate department-spotting is a game we play when on holiday. I don't have them memorised, but I do have a little map with them all on. What a nerd!  :)

Wow!  :o

The best rendition of the HLBS Co.'s modern range I've seen to date! Love the digital camo. Can't wait to see the opposition. :D

Inspiring stuff.

PS: Where's the shipping crate from?

Oh wow! vary nice! I just got done scaning the HLBS page and its not fair I tell you!
I ahve been looking for good up to date moderns and there always in the wrong scale. Ether 20s or 40s.
Oh well.
Hey Majorsmith, I think you are pretty spot on with the ACUs, they look great! to bad you stand out like the dogs balls when wareing the stuff.
