Here my last work (parallel with the King Tiger Annealise), the base for my T-34, was done in clay. What do yoou think?, more debris?, colors are "correct", all feedback are welcome . The wood base aren't attached yet

Well, Berlin had been bombed by the US Eighth Air Force, RAF Bomber Command for well over a year, followed by shelling from thousands of Soviet artillery pieces, so rubble was everywhere (look at wartime photos). And not just bricks, but wiring, plumbing, wooden joists, roof tiles, bits of furniture, random shredded sheet metal, and lots and lots of paper. And scatter lots of completely unrecognizable bits into it .
And if you've ever been to a building demolition, there is gray cement dust absolutely everywhere, so colors should be very unsaturated.

Thanks Gerard for your comments, you're right. In some photos, you can see the rubble, but the streets are clean!. Anyway, I follow your comments.

Id agree with the previous points, but would also mention the size of the base. Too much of the tank is "hanging off" it, on three different sides. You´ve done a great job with the weathering, and I love the rusty "matresses" and feel this would look better in a more complete surrounding. A gavel ruin as a backdrop and lots of rubble underneath would place this perfectly. The base you´ve shown looks good ... but would be more suitable for a jeep/kubelwagen or some figures.

Hi Frank,

Loking better, you're right, maybe I need some softskin to use with it. The base its a "copycat" of the actual Miniart one, size 9x8" done in clay (Das Pronto).

I will try to reproduce the main street with more clay and the original mould. I don't use it, as I keep as "master".

Thanks for your words about the weathering, and the ideas
