I really like that you even have the cables to the headsets, that's a nice touch. What figures did you use? I've never seen the officer in the schwimmwagen before.

Thankd for looking and the positive comments.

The figures around the jeep are all Tamiya from their German recon pack.

Great work, overall! The figures' camo is far beyond anything I can do. The panzerspahwagen is quite impressive, but my eye keeps getting drawn to the schwimmwagen. It may just be the light, but the weathering on the spare tire looks a little yellow?

Hi,

Very active scene, nice work. Not sure about the 'leaves' on the back of the vehicle though. The battle for Caen was between July and August 44 so would the leaves have turned brown and be off the trees by then? Other than that there is a lot of fine detail to enjoy and the scene looks good.

I think an interaction between the pointing figure and the chap at the back of the AC might work better or if he was angled slightly more towards the officer.

Excellent stuff, enjoyed it a lot.

Thanks for looking and the positive comments.

I think the colour of the spare tyre on ths shwimwagon is down to my usual standard of awful photography as it seems ok in the flesh.

I meant this to be about August September time when the leaves would have been falling from the trees.

I think the guy pointing is looking where he is pointing and speaking and the officer is looking on the map.

I get my leaves from greenline and I think they are some form of dried seeds from sycamore although I am not too sure.

Thanks for looking.
