I have a show coming up this weekend and can't decide which of two models is best suited to the base they're both pictured on. The base itself is not quite finished (still in gloss, no dust or dirt) but I think it's close enough to judge. Please, fire away, hold nothing back, shoot from the hip, spill it, cough up your first impulse, anything within forum guidelines is welcomed.

Thanks!

Is that a Pershing with M51 Features?

It is, built for the campaign "What if V, the return of the weird" earlier this year.

Of those two, the Pershing's a better fit on that base.

Okay. Keeping in mind the Pershing is a "what-if" IDF tank, I went with the T24, and am prepping another base for the Pershing, still "urban", but more regularly-sized stones, to be colored lighter.
This is the T34, on the base after adding some dirt clods and dust from pulverized clods, trying to hint at the passage of several dirty tanks through the same place:





Forgive the poor pics, Poo-bucket does not want to link edited and cropped pics this morning.
Thanks all for the input, it's appreciated.
