Very clean buil !
Maybe you could have another soldier, having come out of the car, asking something to a civilian on the street.
It's just that the open door, giving on an empty seat just tells us that someone has just gone out of the car for a minute !

I don't know what's out there for German figures but maybe you could find one taking a leak? That would give a reason for the open door and the waiting officer.

I'm impressed with the seats, they look very real to me. Also the detail on that Jerry officer, the rank insignia, he's a major or above isn't he, the decorations, even the arm band are all very well done.

This is a very nice build. I really like your work on the figures and the interior of the Steyr. The Officer in the back is EXCELLENT ! My only comment would be a darker wash here and there, and or a bit of highlighting. My guess would be that high-ranking German officers would be riding in prestine Staffcars anyhow. Great job overall, and seeing this make me want to start mine next !

Cheers !

Hi Halfyank, I painted the officer as a Major-General.
Thanks to all for the suggestions, I like the one of somebody taking a leak by the roadside...think I'll go with that! Anybody know of a company selling a Lieutenant-General or higher taking a leak? The other fellah wouldn't stop for anything less!
