I have seen all the pictures and I have to say... wow... that is the most elaborate way to have a scene showing 2 tanks. But definately in a good way.. The demolished factory is awesome. Did you scratchbuilt all that? And you have the right amount of rubble that shows where the rest of the factory went to when it was demolished. I love all the metalwork and wires hanging around in a tangled mess. And the colors are so nice. I couldn't find it out from searching the pictures but is any action happening in the back of the factory ruin?
Also what does the russian text mean above the T34?

Hello
I can not exit the admiration for this work. is great, amazing.

No action happening in the back of the factory ruin



and the Russian text means "factory"

Amazing work I agree with evrything Robert says. To me the real star of this piece is not the armour but the ruin itself. One thing though- by the time T-34s were using this "Bedspring Armour" they were well inside Germany probably on the outskirts of Berlin- so why would the factory sign be in Russian?

Really great ruin though.

impressive work!!

WOW

Impressive base Dimitris. So much rubble and wreckage. I see a lot of Adam Wilder and Dan Capuano influences in this. Have to agree with Pat, the ruins draw the eye rather than the T34, so hopefully this was your idea? Would be great to see some figures making their way through this rubble!!

What a scene- some great work on the destroyed factory- that must have taken some time! The T-34 really draws the eye into the middle of the scene and I think thats a great place to begin admiring the destruction!

Hi Dimitris

You are the best who came out of Greece since a long time :-) !

Having done a bit of rubble in the past , i can imagine very well what amount of work is in this diorama. Respect! Superbe dio again, great painting !

Cheers

Fantastic craftmanship. Perfect amount of debri for a destroyed factory, something many miss. After all this work it is a shame that a few figures should be empolyed, tanks are usualy accompanied by some troops for self defence against anti-tank teams. Though it does not take away from this beautifull piece of art work, a few would go a long way. Just a small bit of critquing about the figures. But your painting is very good on the factory and really gives that dusty demolished look. My hats off to you sir, great job all the way around.

You just blew my mind!! Awesome work!! It would be even nicer with some figures.

Regards,

Again Dimitris,awesome.
It must have taken you a very long time to do all that rubble and destruction to such detail.
I would agree that some figures would look good,but I also understand that they may be all buried in the rubble or just gone from there.Maybe 1 or 2 dead from the open hatches would do it.That keeps the title "The great silence".
