Looks good,nice job.
Great base also.
Only thing maybe dust those shoes a bit, as to me look to clean, for desert.

Really well done scene! Reminds me of some of those combat newsreel photos. Agree with Jeff, a bit more dust on both troops & tank.

Another gem Tom, I particularly like the slightly out-of-focus nearmost figure in the (ahem) duplicated pic that makes it look like he’s actually moving. Agree about dust –you could set a pad/phone to video & throw half a bucket of sand towards the front end of the dio…outdoors of course. I guarantee you’d get some amazing stills

Nice job Tom, I can't help but admire your level of output.
The figures were combined and altered from varying kits?

Bravo

Hi Tom - looks like another great build from your workshop! The figures look great - I don't know how you can build so many projects - nice!

Cheers

Hi guys,
Thanks so much for your comments .
Yes,I think I forgot to add pigment to the base and figs.
The figures are all MB.Exempt the tank commander.
Most of my dio's are just waiting to be done.I have figures and vehicles already built.All have a scene in mind.
Buildings and groundwork take more time.
Have to admit I've become addicted to this.Probably 3 hours almost every day and more an the weekends.

Really nice work Tom. It reminds me of some pictures you see in history books on the desert campaign.
Cheers
Todd
