Hi guys
So this is the final reveal for my second entry in this group build
I have been building the Dragon M4A2 Tarawa kit and the Trumpeter LCM-3 landing craft
My original plan was to try and build a diorama but in the end i had to settle for a small stand to hold the boat and tank
Mainly because i didn't have enough materials and because i lost my mojo with this build so i kept delaying it to the point that i didn't even have enough time to make a diorama

So in the end i just made a simple stand and maybe i will return to this build later and build a diorama after all but for now this is how it looks

And that is all i have
As you may notice it is large so a bit of pain in the rear to get pictures off
So thanks for stopping by and having a look
Take care and untill next time
Cheers
Mark

Thank you very much Curt
The LCM is rougly 60cm or 2 feet long when the ramp is down
So it is pretty big
I am planning a new Sherman build wich i hope to start soon
It will be the Cyber hobby orange box M4A4 but to spice it up i will be converting it in to a Sherman Crab mine sweeper with the help of the Legend Crab conversion wich fits on this kit
But before i start that one i want a bit of a faster build so i will be building Wittmann's Command Tiger 1 first wich will be OOB so that should take me too long

The LCM looks great with the weathering and the rust stains coming down the side.

Great Job!!!!
