My plan...
any idea improvements most welcome

There is an elevation change, and the Jeep & QL Bedford lead a convoy of 16 Field Regiment.
Following on is a Dingo of 10 Transport Coy, and then two Quad Gun tractors & 25 Pdrs of 161 battery.
An LPOP is at the side watching the convoy pass.
A British Centurion is dug in on high ground near the bridge...

Thanks Wally & Paul & Andrew.

Three weeks now into the GB and status so far:

- Quad tractors collected a little more dust…
- 25 Pounders progressing slowly in the back ground.

- QL Bedford made a big leap this weekend with most sub-assemblies made.

- New item added to the scene is a Jeep with soft top, this will be leading the convoy.
Internal roof bows have been added in the canvas hood.
Some other minor additions will also be added…

- Started the NZ Pattern Wheeled carrier, lots of rivets to decapitate!

- Centurion collecting dust.
Some individual track links and mantle cover in the post as well as an Eduard photo-etch set (yes I said no photo-etch, but this baby needs it!).

- Dingo is still in the box.

Some other parts in the post include new commonwealth AOS decals from Archer Fine Transfers for all the vehicles.
Also some additional figure sets.

Well no progress for the last 2.5 weeks as I have been travelling overseas for work.
I did manage to find some 'Value-Gear' resin goodies whilst in Ireland, but did not have time to find any more IBG QL's when in Poland.,.. next time maybe.

However when in Auckland airport I picked up the following book and read it from cover to cover, great insight and help for the diorama.

www.penguin.co.nz/products/9780143568483...erans-remember-korea
Worth a read.

The resin goodies (made in Ireland), some of which will be used here...

Thanks Dads Army, I hope it looks good, just need to make sure I finish it.

Andrew, the value gear castings seems to be very detailed and nice, so very little clean up

Small update, both No.27 Limbers basically done.
I added a little bit of extra detail and made some foil mud flaps to replace the original ones.
One has the Bronco front cover fitted, which looks good.
Cheers Grant

Also had some new decals arrive for this.
# 44 is for 16 Field Rgt.
# 72 is for 10 Transport Coy.

Thanks guys.
Since the weekend was fine I did not manage much, Quad's chassis were finished off and one engine will form part of the QL's stowage.

Another few goodies arrived today for the diorama from Hobby Easy.

Next part of the project will be back to the Centurion...

I did say it would be out of the box, well kind of, the new barrel, new mantlet cover, new shells, new photo-etch, new tracks are still out of the box...
