Excellent photos! Like the others have said, your background and terrain are perfect! And the K&C Scorpion is an excellent little vehicle. Did you darken the grass on the tracks on your model? It doesn’t look as bright as on mine…

Thank you, you're more than welcome Andy - and thank you for producing the Scorpion :salute:::salute:::salute::
I found the image on the web, I believe it's a picture of Mount Harriet. I took it to a local printer who blew it up for me and I mounted it on card and lined the back of a shelf with it.
Cheers

Many thanks for your kind comments tman
No, I didn't darken the grass - just as bought - bright. It just came out like that in the pictures - I guess something to do with the lighting (or shadow....?) in my garden room
As you say, an excellent little vehicle!

An impressive AFV by K&C and just as impressive is the scene you have created for it. Well done and thanks for sharing.

Great dio and pics.
Modern vehicles should be a huge part of this hobby, a tip of the cap to K&C for leading the way with vehicles from Vietnam and the Falklands.

I saw this piece in person at Sierra on Saturday, it is simply spectacular.
Weathering, stowage and scale are all perfect.
