Ola Glenn

That is a really nice diorama you have made there. Only thing I think would have made the scene even stronger is having the tanks gun barrel point straight into the guys face. Now it is aiming a few degrees to his left away from the figure.

Yes, Robert, the gun was supposed to be pointing at the grenadiers face, but the turret must have gotten jogged during the process. In fact, the grenadier was positioned to be facing the turret figure, and vice versa, the gun pointing directly at the guy's head and the hull machine gun is also aimed directly at him. And for good, measure, there is a Bren gun within easy reach. I'm glad you like the scene as it is meant to be situated in Holland or the Dutch/German border area in 1945. I found pics of Polish Cromwells in Holland that had spare track applique welded all over the glacis and turret and wanted to model one.

thanks, Tom. The panzer grenadier was quite challenging to paint.

Nice.

I didn't notice the Panzerfaust in his hand at first. That could have even things up, but I think it's beyond that now.
