The base is really bringing everything together. It is looking great.

ausgezeichnet!!
The figures really give a nice sense of scale of how big this gun was. Very nice work.

it was fun to build and paint it
That's what matters.
Anyway, I think it's excellent. Layout is good, groundwork, figures, accessories and the piece itself all work well, individually and together.
I'm looking to get one of these myself, and if it comes out half as good as yours I'll be very happy.
Cheers
Sean

I finished this dio after more then 2 month of work. I know that IŽll never win a medal at Euromilitaire with my work, but it was fun to build and paint it:
Tobias- I LIKE your idea of the US "Doughboys" filing past this HUGE Gun!!!

BEAUTIFUL JOB, altogether!!!

PS- Re: Your "Euromilitaire" comment- Don't "short-sell" yourself; re-read my comment above...

The important part of that statement is that it was fun. Many very good builders don't win awards, doesn't mean that their work isn't good. I think a better gauge are the comments that you get from other modelers. I, for one, think it looks great. Composition is good, figures are very nice, good groundwork, and a lot of interesting things to look at, besides the gun, which looks terrific. You have a lot to be proud of, and it's been fun following along on this build.

Well done Tobias! I am in the process of weathering mine right now, it is a huge canvas. I would love to put it in a diorama but I don't think my groundwork skills are up to your standard.

Great job Tobias, I really like your dio. The only problem I see, and it is not your fault, it is the fault of the kit, is if you look at the crank handle next to the soldier with the camera you will see that it is too far back. If you were to turn the handle it would hit the ladder.
Like I said this is Takom's screw up and not yours but for anyone else building this kit it is something you might want to correct during the build.
Beautiful work Tobias!
