Not bad there sheep boy. I like your lighting technique there it gives the inmpression that there is something mysterious about the shed. stug

Jugend Movement this looks interesting, the story line is convincing, if you can you might want to add an MG team for ambush as well, the barn, is this scracth build?

Nice work so far. One thing that would help me is a name that indicates story line. I like the idea, my mind is jumping back and forth between - Ambush vs. Total Surprise.
Is the pak ambushing the patrol or are both unaware of the other. If its the former, I would go with SS-74's idea of a MG in there. I've seen what a pak can do to a tank - wonder what it'd do to a patrol at that range #:-)

Keep us posted.

Good idea and should be nice. Could you turn the lights on the next time you take some pictures? ha ha!
If I were to make one suggestion, would be to build the whole barn out of lollipop sticks or balsa. Styrofoam causes too many problems, and can only be painted with acrylics. If you decide on stone walls, cast flat rectangular blocks with hobby hardwall and then scribe them and damage them as you would scribe the styrofoam. You will end up with much stronger walls, easier to paint and also be more realistic.
I agree with the MG team, but the pak could be the reason they are there. It would be cool still to have it "built in" in the barn.
Another thing that might help the appearance of the overall dio, is to have it set at an angle rather than square with the base. If the barn is in one corner, it gives more room at the back and then you can have more width out front for a road and a bit of old farm wall or fence. Maybe even a small tree.
