Desert Storm MLRS diorama
Even though I posted the HEMTT earlier, the MLRS was the first of these two vehicles I built and originally I had no intention of building the HEMTT. However, I've always liked the HEMTT and I've really enjoyed building minifig scale trucks, such as my Maersk container truck and US Army wrecker. So, a HEMTT was an obvious choice and so was combining them in a little diorama.
Being able to do this sort of thing is one of the reasons I'm quite fussy about scale. In order for the vehicles to look right when combined with figures, I tend to opt for the small end of minifig scale (roughly 1/43) and that makes the HEMTT seven studs wide and the MLRS nine.
