The Steyer 1500A was one of the common transportation vehicles in various theatres during WWII. The diorama represents a Steyer 1500A somewhere in Southern Libya in 1942, made using the Tamiya 1/35th scale set with CMK engine detail set (very useful) and Hauler photo etched parts (not so useful). It took me about half a year to finish it and while I am quite happy about the vehicle, I have to significantly improve figure painting skills.

Very nice. My only quibble would be the tarp which looks like Tamiya's usual hard plastic and not very believable. But scratchbuilding a top from tissues, etc. is a major pain in the ***, so it's more like an observation and not a criticism of an otherwise fine build.

Thanks all for the comments and yes Bill, it is original Tamya tarp:-) If you have more suggestions for improvement, please shoot without hesitations, I am about to start next project:-)
