Nice job, you have a very interesting subject fascination!

Figure, mut, car and base is all very well painted and most of all, the story line is great!

Nice little dio. Good painting, and the dog is just perfect. Animals add much life to a diorama, here too. Who's the manufacturer of this dog ?

Really nice. Love the series idea you have. The old armored car really is a great subject.

Who many vignettes in the series?

Great little scene Steve. When I read the title this was the last thing I was expecting to see. It's great to see funny vignettes as well as the dramatic ones.

Steve,

What a tremendous idea for a scene - so simple yet so effective.

The paint job on the armoured car is superb, as is the dog.

The only thing I'd say is that I think the road paving cobbles are a bit too bright and clean. They could definitely use a dark wash to tie the colours into each other a bit better and tone down their brightness, then a bit of highlighting afterwards to make them look more natural.

But other than that - absolutely top-notch and with an interesting and unusual choice of vehicle.

- Steve

Very nice work! It's especially nice to see Finnish subjects.

Btw, what's that SMG? Looks like a bergman to me, but it feeds from the right.
