I posted some photos about a week or so ago in the axis ww2 section. It's about 95% complete. I accidently threw out the side cable and the commanders headset. I'll get around to replacing them in the near future. Comments welcome.

Hi Brett. Nice groundwork and weathering. I would also consider weathering the underside of the pig some more, as they are partial to rolling in the mud a bit. It looks a bit clean and even toylike as it stands now.

Great work mate. Melting snow looks really good.
I agree with Frank – you should cover the bacon in mud a little – it would be great final touch for this diorama.

Bret, Outstanding Dio. They white wash is awsome, one of the best i've seen for a long time. Love the contrast between the black mud and brown puddles, the ground work is great. Love the way the slushey snow ties everything together. A nice little story going on. Great work. A pleasure to look at, Geraint

Very good job, figures don't seem forced, natural, though a rope or knife might come in handy if they plan on doing something with the oinker. I like the water filled tracks. Keep up the good work!

Thanks for the comments. I'll make the pig dirtier. He does look a bit clean for a pig.

Brett,
Excellent dio all around. I like the paint and weathering on the tank. The snow and mud effects are very well done and looks quite realistic. Obviously you have a keen eye for detail. What kit did you use for the tank and figures?
Well done.
