Having fun with my R4a Irish peace keeper figures!

The jeep is a broken down NewRay jeep that I modified. I needed a cheap project and that was it. I made the decals using Testor's decal paper, which is not great but better than nothing. I learned the grass technique from the Terrain tutor on youtube. He has really great ideas. The independence posters and Simba signs are scaled down from actual examples. The posts are straws that are given a rust wash.

Enjoy.

Great diorama Benjamin! Thanks for sharing your work. I really enjoyed that movie on Netflix.

Thanks Brendan. The movie is what led me to ask R4a to make these figures. I also bought some interesting books on the Congo too.
Best wishes,
