Very nice effects, both rust and terrain.

Like that little scene a lot!

Well done!

Cheers

Romain

P.S.: bunkers like that one were to be found in the entire Nazi territories. In Berlin there were more dug-in tanks, due to the over-hasty set-up of the defenses.
The only thing not so familiar is the steel bunker. The ones I've seen are concrete (cheap, quick, Organisation Todt's favourite).

Hi Roman
Looks great! That steel bunker looks very realistic, and a great idea with the two onlookers.
