good job, the only thing i dont like is the hand painted numbers, they look too rough....on the real tank they were hand painted aswell but they were quite regular, especially in berlin, which i guess is where the tank is ...

cheers Dan

Hi, the base helps the overall feel a lot - looks great. That's the Verlinden gate, right? Maybe spraying a REALLY DILUTED light buff dusting over it would make it less dark if you wanted that on the tank. What is the brick base?

Thanks for the many replies guys! i love relplies!!
the tank is in a wealthy part or berlin, hence the Faux Med look.
the floor is a off cut from Monroe perdeu.
gate is verlinden!!
Greg, what do ya mean about the buff, on the tank or on the wall and base,
ideally i wanted the floor lighter, butitsgrowng on me, i asthinking ofputting som of thosewll trimmed trees behind the walls, te trees tat areusually in posh places, thenm escapes me:(
thank forte feedback guys
