Opinions wanted: I built the tamiya kit out of the box and added Italeri accessories/fuel sets. The bags and tarps are made from tissue paper. I painted the tank with Model Master Olive Drab and used Brown paint on lower runnning gear. I then dry brushed with Desert Yellow. The base is a oval of pine and ground work came from my driveway. The vegitation is natural colored Lichen.

Looks mighty nice bf443! The pics are a little bit fuzzy, but still. it looks like a job well done.
If I had to comment on anything, I would lessen the rust on the track ends.
PS: I fixed your link.

Very nice, indeed, Bf443. The weathering in the pic looking down on the Lee is the best I've seen in a while. Really looks like its been around the block and back again. I would have to agree with Kencelot that you might tone down the rusty track ends. Beautiful job overall, though.

As Kencelot said try to reduced the rust on the tracks, and maybe a rope over the gear on the engine deck, I think its not stay long there in action
For the rest looking verry good.

Gentlemen, thank you for the comments. I will take your suggestions to task. I'm sorry about the first few pictures being fuzzy. I just received a digital camera and I'm not very competent with it or posting links to pictures (Thanks Kencelot for fixing that). I read in the photo forum about fuzzy pictures and it was suggested lighting may need improvement. I did just that and I added three much better pictures to the album. Please feel free and look at them. I have other models and dioramas I will try to post in the near future. :-)

It looks good but pics a bit larger will help a lot better understanding your work...
