Looks like it's in your back yard not Berlin Nice job, curious about the figures in that did they really use that type of body armor in the Battle of Berlin?

Looks very good....well done.Nice to see figures in Body Armour .....something different.

Here is a bit of history on the body Armour: There were several models of body armor in the Red Army, called SN-38, SN-39, SN-40, SN-40A, and SN-42. The number denotes the design year. All were combat tested, but only the SN-42 ("Stalynoi Nagrudnik" is Russian for "steel bib") was put in production. (The native Cyrillic abbreviation for the vest was СН, the Cyrillic letters Es and En.)

Nice job, Omar, especially with the turret. Is the DShK machine gun from the kit? Also, are the road wheel halves glued together? They look far apart.

Very nice job, man.
The stripe on the turret, the weathering, all quite convincing.
As for the backdrop, I guess a second bit of history in one thread would be in order -- Berlin consisted of 2/3 forested areas and parks, and that is from the 80's. I'm sure it was even more then. So your backdrop is fine.
