Great Dio, like the movement of the tracks. Were did you get the Tank commander? Love his face, really captured the war wary stress of prolonged combat.

Superb! I thought the commander looked great with the tank destroyer arm bands, why did you take them off?
Great job

Thanks. But after all stripes for the destroyed tank the manual weapon gave out to usual soldiers.

I like the tank commander figure a lot. I believe you've gone a bit overboard with the gray/black soot, though. The four large grills on the engine deck were for cooling air for the radiators, and should not be discolored, as they were not exposed to engine exhaust. Tigers did generally show a little soot around the edge of the engine deck just in front of the exhaust pipes, but not on the outside of the sheet metal shrouds.

Peter, great dio and quite honestly a fab looking 1-35 figure, these little blokes are easy to paint, when it comes to their faces it becomes dificult and you've managed this very well, the only bad thing I would add to the tank, the tracks are nice and dirty (I wish my wife was that dirty) you'll have to consider the tank dragging itself through roads, fields and there is very little, or no dirt on the front of the tank, other than that, a really nice 1st class diorama.

Hi Peter. As mentioned earlier ... really nice colouring and weathering. The figures looks great in the turret. The one thing that lets it down is the floating wheels and tracks .... they donīt conform to the shape of the base and convey the weight of the tank.

Great job on the tiger. I looks really good although I will agree that the tracks float a little on the diorama.
Excellent job on the commander also.
Thanks for sharing

A great job on the tank and the base. But I have to say that the tank commander is the highlight for me. An outstanding job in my oppinion.
By the way, about the soot on the engine deck. Maybe the tank had an engine fire at some point in its life.
