Hey Joe, very nice indeed. Good story and composition. Great weathering on the tank and your figures stand out by themselves. Hope is that one day my figures will be as nice as yours. Thanks for sharing and the insperation that it gives us less talented modelers.

Hi Joe,

This looks very good! i also like your figure painting, very natural.
I do not comment the palm as the used commercial stuff and doing a nice tree is probably not so difficult anymore with that.

I would like to comment on the tracks of the vehicle. I am not sure if the floating of the tracks on the rear is not a bit to much, but as i am not a panzer guy, don't take my comment to serious.

Yo Joe Lo,

Nice work/vignette!

A very good job on the tank, nice dust weathering. The figs are just amazing, very nice colors!

Good looking groundwork, my only thing is that the carpets on the tank are a bit to stiff in my opinion...and maybe you could gice them a bit more color variation.

Great Job!

Great composition and figure painting. Groundwork is superb as well. The weathering stands out. Very convincing and not too over the top. It looks like desert weathering,as it should!
All in all,looks the business.

Hi Claude,

Thanks for your above comments. I have reviewed and found that the rear tracks are not very fit on the ground. I am going to fix it.
Thank you!!!

Hi Nico,

I agree with you the tent is a bit stiff. Your comment is very useful.

Thank you.

THE TANK

The tank for this dio. was the Academy M3 Stuart Honey. The kit is not bad at all and I just add minor details on the vehicle.

1. Collect rivets from the chasis.


2. Replace all handles of the vehicle by 0.5mm copper wire. The original crutch for connecting the fender were too thick. I rebuild it by thin copper plate and add some rivets


3. The head light's racks were too thick so rebuild by thin copper strip, besides hollow out the head light.


4. the base of antenna was rebuild by copper rod.

Wonderful

Nice work and nice diorama.

I would appreciated if you would explain which color you used for the tank.

Thanks

Hi Joe,

they must mean you, as I am "pro" in photobucket!
