I really like this. The way you've pposed your figures gives a sense they are actually retreating. Great work on the rusted tank and nicely damaged road wheels.
Question...Is that base by Farina Enterprise?

I particularly like your interpretation of the T34. That's the Mig one right? The pose of the figures is also excellent...
On the debit side, I assume that the chimney stack is by Verlinden? Just my personal feeling but it needs to be worked more into the diorama. Let me try and explain, you have the rubble and the groundwork excellently done, however, the chimney looks dull and lifeless, perhaps it's the color of it, but it doesn't seem to blend in like the rest of the elements. Overall an excellent piece of work, Jim

Hey Keith,

I was wondering when we would see some of your work here on Armorama. This dio is awesome. The ruins are outstanding. The figures look really good and you managed to catch the feel of desperation just beautifully. I think this is an outstanding diorama.

I love they way you damage-coloured the tank.... how did you do it ? Using pastels or with paint ? That rust effect is just awesome !!

Great work keith. Love all the action as the figures scramble over the very realistic rubble. I saw this T-34 at a "meet" a few months ago and was very interested in it. Might be the push I needed to purchase it. Great dio piece. Any pictures of it from the back? I believe there is a partial interior??? Everything is perfect ..... my only niggle is some of the brick work might need a bit more weathering... a few of the bricks are very bright orange ...
The frame adds perfectly to the whole scene. Is this the colour of the frame or have you stained it yourself? What colour(s) have you used? Great to see you back modelling again.

Very Nice!!
the groundwork is well done, also the figure are nice also the plan of the dio is nice
The rust on the tank is nice, the only thing I don't like too much is the tank cut in the middle,and also I think with the turret it could be better..but this is a your chose
in the end congrats,
cheers

Great job!! I really like this dio. It really shows the urgency of the moment. I am reminded of "Monty Python and the Holy Grail". "Run Away, Run Away"!! :-)
