Well, the build of the vehicle is very clean.I would add a crew ,of course.And some stowage(tarps/watercans,etc)
On the dio base,since the suspension is "set",build up under the rear roadwheel,it isn't pushing the track DOWN into anything...

Matt, looks good!!! a nice set for the crew would be Tamiya's winter breifing!!! it would explain why they were out of the tank!!! Anothe suggestion would just be a nice tarp over the open turret!! HTH STUG

I would have liked to put the crew in the set up but unfortuantely they got lost or thrown away This is the first thing like this I've ever made so there was alot of experimenting. I did not want to put money into a professionally made wood base for my first one, so I just grabbed a nice looking garden rock. :-) The whole thing (except for the tank) cost me virtually nothing, however I am planning on getting a stowage set...as for Stug's suggestion I'm not sure how to make a tarp, sounds like a good idea though...any help on that would be appreciated. Thanks for your suggestions

Matt most tarps are rectangler in shape. Another fun thing to do is the same thin with some gauze from a first aid kit. They make make nice camo nets. also with the white glue and tissue you can make most of your stowed equipment from a travel pack of tissue. Bed rolls are the easiest. cut a peice just a little larger than a figure, roll it up, dip it in the glue mixture, and paint!!! Rolled tarps are just as easy. For a rolled tarp just cut a larger piece and follow the tip on the bed rolls. HTH STUG
