Hi There,
I would like to show you my little 'Italy-scenerie'.
As you can see the boys have some trouble with the water-cooling-system of their 'Opel Blitz coal-engine' and along comes a biker asking for some gas...hope you'll enjoy the pictures

Hi,
You know propably yourself that there is a lot of room for improvement regarding painting(mainly figures, just look at the arm of the mechanic!)
but overall i think your layout is good and your groundwork very promising for the future.

Do some efforts regarding figure painting and you are on the right way!

Cheers
Claude

My first thought when I saw his arm, was oil running down it, (since it is oil trouble with the vehicle), but Claude is right keep working on your paining with figures. Practice your shadows and highlights, all you need is more experience....which means more figure kits!!!

Later,

Just one thing I noticed, and its small. I would turn the tires the other direction so that it looks as though they were following the road. That or have the truck pulled to the side that the tires are directed. Unless the driver is a complete dunce and thought that turning the steering wheel would somehow cure the mechanical failure (trust me, I've known a few) it would make more sense to the casual viewer. Just peanuts from the gallery....
