Great work with the king tiger.
I really like the general layout of the figures on the tank. Very cool poses!
Thanks for sharing your work!

Ed,
that looks amazing, i love the details added with the cigarettes and it almost looks like two of them are conversating, the two behind the turret to the left. Wonderful job!

Hi Ed,
Great work on the figures and very nice overall composition. Are you planning to place this in a diorama setting?
I do suspect though that your photography isn't doing your work full justice - it all seems a bit bright and glossy to me, which I suspect is because of the camera flash and the artificial light.
Try using natural light if you can (no flash), and a blue background.

Very nice job, the only thing that jumps out at me is that the uniforms are a tad glossy. Might just be the flash. Good work.

Nice work Ed, perhaps you would do a write up on this and submit it to the features team.
