Staging - is it really necessary?

What is it? Looks like post WWII but other than that I don't know much about tanks.

That is a Monogram 1/35 scale M48A2 Patton tank, done in IDF (Israeli Defense Force) colors. The Israeli's renamed them 'Magach' which means battering ram. I have a Tamiya M60 which I plan to do the same thing to.... one 'a these days. The backdrop is a picture of the Negev desert.

Very nice , clean work . Would it be possible to show a pic of how you are getting from top to bottom? Also can you share where you got the homasote board ? I can not find it anywhere . Every search result ends in a big goose egg.

The mainline travels to the top via a long grade some call a nolix. There is a helix at the other end.
