Okay I am making the M-110 for a show down the road.
I have also done up the Trailer for it M-345.
Now I want to add the M-548 also.
Do you all think too much for one display?
The main one will be the M-110, the others are what is part of what would be associated with it.
So what do you all think?
I have put the question to the main man of the show,still out on his reply.
Will be a concrete deal with a circle area.
Thanks
Jeff

It kind of depends on the category you are entering-- is it SP artillery or a diorama of SP artillery? At our local club, if the base had groundwork and figures, it would probably be considered in the diorama category, and placed on that table. If it was three related pieces without a base, each might be considered separately in the "SP Artillery" or the "Open topped tracked vehicle" (the M548) "Post War" categories. The trailer would likely be considered with whatever vehicle was towing it. So I think it depends on the presentation you are making-- there's another possibility too-- if it were multiple related vehicles without bases, all from a specific Battery withou figures or groundwork, it might go into the "Collections" category. Our local IPMS web site has category descriptions, numbers, and links to the National IPMS judging criteria. Is your club an IPMS affiliated club? If so, they should have categories and judging criteria posted on their website, or a link to the National IPMS site. I don't think it's too much, but you should probably decide how you are going to display and enter it-- as separate pieces, a collection, or a diorama.

I would try to avoid the diorama category. There is much more to a good diorama than a few vehicles parked in the vicinity of each other.
Personally I would go for open topped tracked vehicles and set them close to each other on the same table. Not on the same base if they are on bases.
