Ciao Luca,

fantastic painting on both vehicle and figures!!! Top notch!! Congratulations!

The 3rd man is obviously in contact with another person, and this person is located at some height (the guy is looking up rather than down, isn't he ).

So you would have to put the other guy on a vehicle as well....or on a pile of rubble f.ex.

Vehicle could well be a halftrack, where the wounded comrade can be loaded into....and the rubble could come from a damaged urban surrounding.

Just basic thoughts I'm sure you had already yourself...but you asked for it!!

Eager to see progress. One thing is certain: such a beauty deserves only the best scenery!!

Cheers

Romain

The figure looking up could be following an Allied aircraft coming round for a second run or another in the squadron. Allied aircraft terrorized German vehicles, during and after the Normandy invasion. The first aircraft or pass could be what knocked out the Hetzer. The look on the figure's face reinforces this, as it appears to be one of fear. Great job on the Hetzer and figures. You have some real talent.

Thanks for your valuable comments and suggestions, but the dio is already finished... it will include a ruined country house in the boundaries of Budapest (December 1944) and 3 infantry soldiers.

I will post soon....
