Next up is my most ambitious project to date. A 1/35
scale diorama consisting of an AV-98 Ingram MG, Tamiya Ford Quad
Tractor, Dragon Navy Seal Team and some kind of tank. I haven't
completely decided yet which one, there are sever 1/35 scal Tamiya
Tanks I am considering.
The premise will be an in-progress or thwarted bank
robbery where the criminals decided to use a tank to rob the Foo
City Bank. This is still pretty early in the planning stages, but
I think the base of the dio will be 24" x 15". It's going
to be pretty large. Plus it will be on a city street so that means
lots of little details to make this project complete.
As I come up with ideas for this project, I will post
them to this page. I have a lot of little touches that I'd like
to add, but I'll list them as I build them. What I have completed
so far is the decal sheet, and the color schemes for the SWAT team.
Seeing as this will be my second diorama project,
a lot of research will be done. I'll need to research tank damage
to buildings and pavement, SWAT team tactics, and a lot about how
to go about building this project in general.

of Scenery
I decided to go with a beach scene instead for this
diorama. Building a bank from scratch plus finding all the little
extras to make the city look real just seemed to daunting a task
for me rignt now. Plus the beach is always more fun than the city!
This new set up will also allow for more action and
still keep an equal amount of destruction as the city. Heh heh!

Colors
I recieved my MG Griffon the other day. I am using
that instead of a tank now. Here is the color scheme I am going
with. It will be a metallic red candy coat in a high gloss. Yum!
I haven't decided on decals yet.
It's a civilian sports model that has been stolen
and taken on a dangerous joy-ride. Only to be taken down by the
Foo City PD SWAT Team.
