Aleksey,
Do you have any other pics of the dio? I like the idea of the SP being "hull down". The ground work looks good. The crew looks awfully clean for what looks to be a not new SP, but then that could be my monitor or the flash on your camera. Please do post more pics, as I for one would like to see this work from other angles. Thank you for posting!
Cheers
Dave

Hi Aleksey,

Nice concept, I like the idea of the WESP in a fixed hull down firing position. Might be an idea to rig a camo net even partially over the front. If it was a fixed firing position I'd expect a slit trench near by and some more personal kit around. Looking quite good but it's hard to tell from the pic.

Cheers

Well, actually artillery crews (I`m artilleryst) aren`t as filthy as infantry thats why I`ve made them as on the pic

I quite agree with you, but I did the base a couple years ago and I decided not to do some personal kit around. The reason is I was doing it a long time and I didn't have enough patience for that

I like the ground work and the set up the hull down position.
Did you forget to paint the light on the fender? It looks like unpainted plastic.
The painted helmets look more World War I than World War II.
The guy carrying the shell and the guy facing the back of the model both look too bent over. The one in the Wesp is way too bent and is not looking at the guy who is presumably about to hand him the shell.

I like the idea, and the groundwork looks great. Personally, I don't think I'd be sitting in front of a SP that is being loaded for firing. Could be hazardous to your health!

Hi Jim! Thanks a lot for your mark You have a point there!
Actually I did`n post the dio`s description. The Wasp isn`t being loading, it`s being prepearing to fire and the crew commander has a small rest while others are working. (familiar situation , heh?)
That's the whole point

Ah, now it makes more sense. Typical NCO (I know, I was one). Where's his cup of coffee?
