Is the title for my next little vignette and I guess the title
will once everything is in place make sense...

The scale is 1/72 and the kit is from Dragon.

What remains to be done is a bunch of figures and more details
should be painted and weathered. Further enhancing of the contrasts
on the vehicle and tracks with washes and careful painting. The gaps
between the ground and the tracks should be filled and dirt should
be fixed in various places of the tracks too...

As always, it's a purely fictional vehicle and no references have
been used for the add-on armor...

Thanks for looking

Sven-Åke

Another beauty Sven-Åke. Love the weathered armor attached to Sherman. Im guess we´re going to be seeing some pigs shortly? Plenty of puddles fr them to play in.
Stockholm this year?

Sven-Åke,

Once again you are doing SUPERB work! I would swear this was 1/35 scale!

I do hope this will be a light-hearted viginette, since I can picture a "negative" scene as an alternative of the title.

As usual... really nice work. You have a real talent for bringing these small scenes to life.

I like that German helmet hanging on the front of the tank.

Looking forward to seeing the pigs!

Thanks Frank!!!

You are correct about the pigs They will enter the stage in a while once the weathering
and other bits and pieces are in place...

Glad you like the mot so very well researched add-on armor

Cheers

Don't worry Jeff !!!

No one will get hurt in this scene, if anything it will perhaps produce a laugh or two

Cheers

Thanks Hisham!!!

Simple details like that helmet can really make a difference and adding further
details like the strap to the helmet like I did is perhaps a little too much but every
little out of the ordinary item that you add creates more interest for the model.

So glad you like it!!!

Best Regards

One new picture added where I have blended in the tank with the groundwork
and I also added the three pigs that will later recieve a bit more paint...

Hope you still like the improvements...

I might try to weather them too once everything else is done

Not sure if chipping is a way to go here though

Cheers
