Incidently the M48's in the shot look like the ones I picked up in a packet of soldiers and landing craft awhile ago. The M48's are almost the same size as the Corgi Diecast models. I intend cutting the tracks down and putting them in sandbagged positions for Nam or make them as destroyed or bogged markers. (not decided yet)

I'm not sure I like those missiles. Where did you get the other gun modifications and the sensor dome?

Most of the bits are either Tamiya accessories (the tarps and rolls etc.) the pioneer tools on the back of some are GW bits as are the bolter and turret combos.  The sensor dome is a scrap molded part from my workplace.  I have a bag of them that didn't meet spec.  They happily fit perfectly into the GW rhino turret assembly, as I wanted one that looked like a proper command vehicle of the near-future.
This is my boomstick!

How does the tank, included in the bag, look scale-wise? Too small?
Never underestimate the power of human stupidity.

It's pretty convincing scale wise.  It has no bottom though, so I made one from plasticard and made the tank into a "Hulk-smash" target for my supers games. It makes pretty good backdrop scenery as well.  It won't win any competitions though, just like most of my stuff. I'll try to take a pic of the tank and send to you.

I hope no one minds if I post this here.  Since this is where the interest was started, it seemed like the right place for a follow up.

I saw the Battle Force Big Pack at my local Hobby Lobby.  Like alot of their stuff, there was only one, so I checked their online store.  This should link you right to the item http://shop.hobbylobby.com/products/team-extreme-761908/
Price: $3.99

Those little green army men are the same poses that I used to have as a kid.  Probably my favorite toy, and most likely the reason I'm still into little military men....
