Hi Eric. A really beautiful dio. Weathering, figures and ground work are all excellent. Canīt fault your ability at all.
The only thing that appears a bit unusual is the early war uniform on its own, and the rest having heavy winter clothes. The two guys heavily wrapped up show the cold with their body language, but the panzer unformed guys donīt. I know winter clothes were not always available, but surely they would have some hats or gloves ... something above the normal to help with the cold.

Thanks Frank
I got my idea from this picture
you are right, they should have gloves...though i can't fix it now.
shortage of winter supplies maybe

Very nice work ! Great figures ! Not the original heads, right? Who's heads did you use ? The tank is weathered perfectly. Thanks for sharing with us !

First of all...biig congrats on the painting/weathering of both tank and figures!!!
Top notch for sure!!!
Figures are nicely interacting too! Well done indeed!!
I second the clothing issue of course, but no war without shortages, eh!
What bothers me just a little is the tarpaulins. To me they look too thick.(at least as thick a the greatcoat).!
Maybe it's just an impression!!?!?
Cheers

Hi Eric,
Really excellent work, a gem to enjoy. Agree with Frank though, about the uniform mix.
Terrific work though.

Torch, I must say that I second all of the positive comments here. Work like this is what attracted me too and encourages me to stay in the hobby.

This is the kind of work that inspires me to do better on mine. I better get crackin' then!
A great version of "Tomorrow we dine in Hell!" theme. Great all around work and presentation. I can live with the uniform issue. Maybe a little more blue on their lips and finger tips to illustrate suffering. My 2 cents only.
Cheers!

hi Romain
The blankets on the tank and ammobox are made of modeling clay,it's really hard for me to make even thinner. so next time when i try to make tarpaulins
i'll try some different material. thanks for the replay
