You can do a forced perspective diorama using your largest scale tanks up front and then progressively going to smaller scales twords the rear… it’ll take creative landscaping skills but it’s doable

Pool noodles and a .50 cal wooden ammo crate is what we used in Iraq.

They’re lucky. We had a fifty cal ammo can and plastic bags while on the move. And slit trenchs to do a duce when we set up. And 10 gallon jugs of Lysol… ahh the memories… And the flies :money_with_wings::money_with_wings::money_with_wings::money_with_wings::money_with_wings::money_with_wings::money_with_wings::money_with_wings::money_with_wings::money_with_wings::money_with_wings::money_with_wings::money_with_wings::money_with_wings::money_with_wings::money_with_wings::money_with_wings:

I live pretty close to Bovington, and I volunteer at the museum. A great place, but I’m biased!! :grin:

Never ask someone to hand you the . 50 ammo can, some joker will hand you the one that sloshes…
20mm cans were what dreams were made of :rofl::israel:

Big boy toys… gotta love it. The not often seen RC version.
The could put 100 of them side by side and flatten whatever they wanted in no time at all. And with no wounded.
