TARAWA: WWII Japanese Island Defensive Position diorama - Update IV

TARAWA: WWII Japanese Island Defensive Position diorama - Update IV

This is part 4 of my build of TARAWA - WWII Japanese island defensive position diorama. This week I work on level 2, the artillery position. I started by painting the figures, then some ammunition crates, and finally the Imperial Japanese Army 75mm/38-cal Field Gun Type 90. I also installed some lights, but that will have to wait until next week.

Next week I continue to the lowest of the 3 levels, the Command and Services level.

Thank you very much for watching, I hope you enjoy the video as much as I enjoyed making it for you!

Bill.
