    Very nice, Aldo @aldog. Putting your model on a diorama base really gives context to the model. Well done.

    Finito tutti. Tried to make the elephants look a little more Asian than African by trimming the ears, and modified an Airfix WAC into a Burmese civilian.

    Posted all the pics in headlines.
    Thanks for following, everyone, and for all your positive support.

    Thanks Spiros @fiveten. I really appreciate your support and positive comments throughout the build. All the best.

    P.S.
    I had a lot of trouble posting tonight and ended up with multiple articles. The website wasn't cooperating. I hope the editor can clean it up.
