Outstanding! What a realistic moment of life at 'the front'. Super figures and small stories throughout.
Thanks for sharing this.
Cheers!

Great work! Congratulations. I especially like the tanker with his hands in his pockets. He looks as if he's quite cold

This is really well done.
The combination of mini events within the overall dio scene make it a lot of fun to visually explore. The guy feeding the dog, the rabbit, the little junk pile, and of course the main scene, all trade marks of a good presentation. And-- it looks cold!
Congrats

Looks great. 1 question though....how did you make the snow? (I know, standard question, but it just looks great and my snow efforts so far were not so great...)

i realy like the sniper and the dog
it is great to see the details and the way you used unconventional materials like the exoust on the stove. this shows the imagination that the builder needs to be a great modeler.
fantastic details overall.

Thank's everyone for the great comment's.
The snow is from Woodland scenic's.I just spread some white glue on with an old paint brush and then sprinkeled the "snow" over it let it sit for aliitle while then shook off the excess.
Scott as soon as I get my camera back from the shop I'll be more than happy to do a feature.
Thank's again Steve

very cool dio! i can almost imagine their voices... like some others commented, it reminds me how much i dislike winter. heat can be a great discomfort but cold can cause pain.
i really liked the snowshoe on the MG bipod. i had never seen that before.
