I finished the dio for this group build. Anyone sees anything that can be improved on please do tell. Sorriso , if anyone wondered, means Smile in Italian. As far as I can see for my number 2 dio I am very pleased. Hope to improve on #3. Had alot of fun putting this together. Special thanks to Fabio for his help and Venom. Wish I could help you clean your work area Fabio but, I dont have a HAZMAT liscense! Enjoy and comments
Wasnt sure what to put on this plate so...My company name came to mind #:-)
A few more shots and the build history are in my gallery here at Armorama!

Nice work out there, excellent I have to say for a second attempt at all. What I'll do is just to give a bit more "dusty" look to the tires...
Keep on going like this!!!

Very nice work there PvtParts! This came together nicely. I like the simple, easy to understand layout. The earth-work looks terrific.
The only thing I would like to see is more personal effects in the vehicle, ie. canteens, fuel cans, etc...
Great job, and to think it's only number two!

Wow! Very impressive.
The paint chipping, how did you go about doing that? Looks great!

Very nice diorama. I like the simplicity. I think the ground came out well. The car is very nicely done. I think others have offered a few 'nice touches'.

The figure uniform are correct
The ground work is great, very real. the vehicle is well done and well weatered, I don't think it needs more dirt or rust. In the end no critics from me but a big congrats!!

P.S. if you need infos about other italian dio or amrors contact me or Scoccia(he's a very encyclopedia about italian tank)
