MGR-1 Honest John diorama in HO scale

Album info
This is my little Cold War era MGR-1 Honest John launcher diorama built from a bagged kit picked up for a few dollars from eBay. I believe it may be a Roco Minitanks kit? I added a windshield, gave the lift jacks some leveling plates and "pimped" the cab with a steering wheel and shifters, a few gauges and a map. Paint scheme for the missile was suggested by an internet pic of a display example from the White Sands test range. The 1:87 scale figures are resin and made by AlsaCast They're actually WWII troops, but this was meant to be a fun build, so close enough! The 'logs' and boulders are compliments of my yard and driveway! Something in the groundwork reacted with the Krylon clear flat I used, causing white spots to form. Rather than touch them up, I just went with it, using some yellow foliage to suggest an early autumn time frame. I'm satisfied with the result, and it was a fun build!
