Superb build but that McDs sign is distracting and I think is too much. Would be better without. Awesome build though - i wonder if this is set in NOLA?

Really cool! Did you convert the SWAT figures from Dragon, or are they Live-Resin? The Dragon SWAT comes with HK MP5s and 9mm vest ammo pouches. There are few 1/35 SWAT figures on market.

The figures look like ant miniatures FSB figures with new weapons

Did NOLA actually mount a machine gun in the turret? I highly doubt it. My department placed a sniper in that location with a GAP 10 sniper rifle. There has been enough outcry around the USA over the use of MRAP’s (which I personally feel is unwarranted) let alone mounting a MAG or HMG in the turret.

Agreed. I don’t think I have ever seen a Police/SWAT/Sherriff MRAP mounting any weapon, let alone a .50 cal.

They look to be this set, with new weapons and a different shield

That comment I made was not to take away from an otherwise excellent diorama/scene.

I think this is an excellent diorama. Great job on the vehicle, building and figures. Well done all around!
