Hello guys,
here are two preview pics of my SA-8 from tankmania. It represents a vehicle from Belarus, sawn 2003. I will add a scarecrow in the back and put Belarus patch on the relatively high base.


Let me know what you think. More and better photos to come in the next weeks when the model is 100% finished.
All the best,
Andreas

Well done Andreas! That's a quite impressive job!
I would put it on a larger base, but anyway that's incredibly good

Its a very nice piece on an inventive base. I wouldn't put it on a bigger one, I like it as is because it focuses you right onto the vehicle. I think you've got the height of the grass spot-on as well as it emphasises the size of the vehicle and gives it an interesting setting. The camo scheme is also nice.

Thank you very much for your encouraging words guys! I appreciate each of your comments. I first thought too, that the base may be a bit too small, afterwards I share Karl´s opinion. Its focused now on the vehicle itself. But anyway, I consider each of your opinions and ideas.
Thanks again,
Andreas

You've really done this kit justice. I would leave it just how it is.
