Strange...I'm not getting the cropped photos that I saved on photobucket. It's showing the original uncropped photos. Has anyone had this problem?

Don't worry about the photo size Brett! Theses sizes show up all the great work you have done here mate. Tremendous paintwork and layout. Nothing here is overdone and the small details like cutlery set it off nicely.
You have definitely done as much as you can with the plastic pooch
One thing to have a gander at would be the finish on the loaves? Is it possible to make them less glossy and more crusty?

P.S. Probably not noticeable to the naked eye, but the cook with the ladle had no earholes! Especially noticeable in the close up with the other soldier as he definitely has...

Brett,
Great Job on this dio. I really like he metallic sheen on the wagon wheels. I also agree the loaves of bread could use a little touch up. Maybe add some dry brushing with a darker color will give them the "crusted" look. Good job though!

Nice job overall, good solid figure skills, the assembly is good, composition is good as well.
One thing that would really elevate the detail factor is the horse harnesses.

Yeah, it had crossed my mind, but quite frankly, I was too lazy to make them and I don't know what they look like.

I'll give the bread a flat coat, the photos make them more shiny than they look.

Thanks all for the comments.

Hello Brett, very nice job, great weathering, and I love the 'soup' in the kettle. You can almost smell it cooking. Al

A really good diorama, one of the pictures does make the dog look as if there is a seam along its back though.

A small chain to the front of the wagon, attatched to both sides where the loop is, is all you need. The horse tack would go with the horses to where they are tethered and staked out. Nice piece in all. I built the older set of this and liked it enough to get this set. Splended job you've done.

Nice work. The figures look great, especially considering what you had to work with. I had the old version without the cooks in my stash for years and finally put it together last year. I ditched the horses in favor of placing it on a trailer to be pulled behind an Opal Blitz. It's been put on hold until I can convert some figures to cooks. I just don't have the hands to paint figures like I use to.

Thanks. Yes, they are the kit heads except the one with the field cap about to receive food. Very good heads for styrene.

Brett,
Those are the kit heads? Are these figures Tamiya or are they ICM sets added to the Tamiya kit? I've never been a big fan of Tamiya's supplied figures. There are exceptions, but for the most part they leave alot to be desired. I know that one of the figures originally went with the original bicycle set...which wasn't a bad figure all things considered. Anyway, once again, nice work on the figures.
