There, don't you feel better for making something that doesn't look like a brick on wheels?
No criticism of the tank itself, but the bricks look a bit too dark, maybe just a drybrush with a dust colour is all that's needed. I do like the way the dust on the tank matches the groundwork and bricks.

Ciao Tigeriv,
Good job!! I wish my first dio had looked so good! On the next one, you might think of making it a little bit more dirty and weathered.
Ciao for now

Gotta love those Fireflies!! Thanks for posting your pictures.

May I share a thought, however?

The tank commander is in pretty heavy gear when you seem to be depicting a June of '44/Caen event. I don't think the tankers would have worn the "pixie suits" just yet given the time of year.
