yeap, dave you are right the photos are naff, i'm inthe process of a new camera

Smithy the grass is fake grass that i got down from a home ware store (wilkinson) and it is just baiscally cut and them scored so that the grass bends over to give the effect. I will use this again as i am in the process of a pacific war dio

Gary -
Looks pretty good, nice scene and not "filled" with a bunch of stuff. Tells a story. What scale is it?
Cheers!

Good figure painting and construction.
The story line could be tightened...you have Hans shooting down Igor while Ivan next to him ignors him instead of bayonetting him.
I'd have gone with shorter or less green grass. The effect, IMO, is too tropical with such tall, green vegetation.

Nice work. I like the subtle rusting on the tank. I also like the scene with the Germans being over run.
