hi guys
I finished my dio "tiger in hunting". Th dio rappresent german paratroops with the support of a tank in the south of italy in the 44.
The tiger is the Italeri Tiger I e, the figures are Dragon fallschirmjager and the house is by Verlinden. I really spent a lot of work and time to doing this dio
tell me what you think, comments are welcome

Venom.... Good work... no need to repeat the kudos mentioned before me, so I will only offer a few minor suggestions:

1) when working with "brick" exterior, a neat way to show of the brick and give a realistic "mortar" look to the standing brick walls is to smear a coat of damp spackle across the surface. Let it sit for a minute, and then use a slightly damp rag to wipe off the surface area. You will then have a nice neat white mortar between all the bricks. Very realistic! (see image below this post for an example)

2) it might be just me, but I would suggest a good dose of dark umber wash be applied to the exterior surfaces as well... the yellow cornerstone work looks a little too clean to be part of a house that has been so thoroughly demolished.

3) You have good rubble... most people don't use nearly enough! More is almost always better, especially if you look at pictures of urban warfare zones... The only comment there would be to add some shattered wood, and perhaps add a bit of the afore mentioned spackle to some of the bricks to indicate mortar that is still attached to the scattered bricks.

The dio looks very good, I like all the scattered bricks-- it really adds to the realism of it. What brand of figures are those?
