  1. I have not really thought out a story line. I wound up building the this thing for a review thinking cool now what? I then found the BA-20 at the last Orlando show and quickly bought it with the diorama in mind. Since then I've playing around with the camera trying find out what is next.... you are right I should determine a story line and not look for it. OK I guess that would help out with the details So the big picture should include weather and season? Figures and weapons or support items?

  2. Hello Greg,

     

    Mark is right, that is an M110A2. Well, it MIGHT be an M110A1. I've been told they exist but I've never seen one myself. The difference? If I remember correctly, the A1 was factory built as you see here while the A2 was a rebuild of an M110 to "upgrade" it to A1 standards. I believe all National Guard units got A2 models. I know our unit did. Based on your bio location and the surrounds of the picture I'd think this was at Camp Blanding or maybe a "monument" at a Guard Armory, right? Again, I think Mark is correct as I'm not aware of any in 1/48 and Italeri did both the M110 (short barrel - Vietnam time frame) and the M110A2. They ALSO did the M107 which is this basic chassis with a 175mm Gun on it. The difference? The barrel is MUCH longer. Verlinden at one point did a resin conversion to make the M110 into an M110A2. Can't comment on the quality of the Verlinden. The Italeri is not bad but, just based on the pictures you have here, you'll be able to see very limited detail in included in the kit.
