1:35 Diorama: M1 Abrams in Iraq

This Dio I builded 2021. I know, the uniform camouflage is not correct, but I like this kind of camo.
And maybe it’s laundry day and so they have to use they old uniforms. :joy:
The ruin is from Verlinden, the trees are cheap ones from ebay. The rest is selfmade.

I like the diorama. I do have a little confusion with showing 5 crewman as normally it’s 4 crewman to a single vehicle.

It came with the Miniart Modern Tank crewmen set which has 5 crewmen in it, he just used them all.


Overall, it looks good. I would remove the guy leaning on the front slope and you would be good on the number of crewmen.

Also, the camo is somewhat appropriate since the version of Abrams and markings are for a tank in Desert Storm ('90 -'91), not OIF ('03 -'11). The body armor is wrong for ODS though. It is just a little mixed up in time.

Very well done! Good composition, too.

Don’t be confused. HeavyArty answer is correct.
I used all of five figures.
Good idea to remove one figure. Thanks.
I know also, the uniform armor and the camouflage doesn’t fit.
Modern tanks and soldiers are not my special terrain.
Maybe, if I find some nice figures, I will change the crew.

These guys are perfect ODS-era tank crew figures. Maybe put the driver sticking out of one of the turret hatches.
