I thought I would share these with you guys. I built this a couple of months agao over about a week and a half. It has Woodland Scenics Snow and trees. The figures are from Dragon, Verlinden, and Jaguar.
The kit is Tamiya's with Verlimdens Interior detail set and exterior stowage set.
Hope you all like.

Pete,
That is some wonderful work! You can feel the tension and the cold in the scene. Great stuff!

Wolfsix,
The Hedge Hog device comes with the Verlinden Stowage set.
Verlinden put out a lot of noce stowage sets lately, with a lot of useful stuff. I managed to use one set for at least 2 vehicles.

Great dio, could be the photography but it looks a little shiney in places and may i suggest some weathering of the troops at the areas where they have come into contact with the ground.
