Hey guy's

Hello Florian,
This is one of the best vignettes I have seen! The T-34 itself looks outstanding! Very nice build with a nice wear to the winter camo! I like that worn look a lot! I love it that you lowered one wheel of the suspension into the ground, like there is a little crater or pothole. Shows the heavy terrain very nicely.
The groundwork looks superb as well, grass mud and timber look very good. Did you use real wood for the timber?
The figures are outstanding! They look very realistic and add the darma to the whole scene.
Outstanding job all over!
Thanks for sharing and please show more of your work if possible!
Cheers,

Wow, beautiful everywhere! Fantastic weathering extremely well thought out and comprehensive, nothing looks like a 'generic' layer. Figures and base are excellent too, outstanding!

Is this in the 'white washed' campaign??

Hi Florian. Very strong presentation. Everything´s so well done ... build, conforming suspension, paint job, weathering, groundwork and figures. Complete package in my books. Nice one.
