You've captured that scene from the movie really well, Mario. And I think using the "wedgie" type build of the Tiger was a smart idea. Great job!!

German Commander of Tiger 115: "You, ze American army!" Oddball: "No baby, we ain't! You know whats' inside that bank, man? Theres' 16 million dollars worth of gold in that bank, sweetheart"... Sorry Beausix...just had to expand on your quote a bit...lol

Nice to see so good of a depiction of Kelly's Heroes. Well done.

Best quote of the movie.
Oddball: This engine's been modified by our mechanical genius here, Moriarty. Right?
Moriarty: Whatever you say, babe.
Oddball: These engines are the fastest in any tanks in the European Theater of Operations, forwards or backwards. You see, man, we like to feel we can get out of trouble, quicker than we got into it.
Kelly: Got any other secret weapons?
Oddball: Well, yeah, man, you see, like, all the tanks we come up against are bigger and better than ours, so all we can hope to do is, like, scare 'em away, y'know. This gun is an ordinary 76mm but we add this piece of pipe onto it, and the Krauts think, like, maybe it's a 90mm. We got our own ammunition, it's filled with paint. When we fire it, it makes... pretty pictures. Scares the hell outta people! We have a loudspeaker here, and when we go into battle we play music, very loud. It kind of... calms us down.

Very cool! Even though I haven't seen the movie since I was a teen, I recognized the scene instantly!

Angel, great work! I was hoping someone would paint that set soon. Super work with the wedge Tiger.
