Thanks!

I love anything Kurland related, this included. This is very well done. The equipment and uniforms are perfect for the setting, as well as the ground work. It definitely feels like Kurland. Great job.

Very nice! I particularly liked the STUH crew.

Very good. Realistic and not too busy.

It's a really fine bit of modeling, but there are two things that need correcting: a great deal of shine off the uniforms that would be consistent with rain, but not what the diorama purports to show. The other thing is the tracks sit above the dirt road which is not realistic: the StuH 42 is heavy and the tracks would "bite" down into the earth.

Otherwise it's excellent modeling that shows what defeat looks like.

The figures are from a Dragon set and I applied Testors dull coat and some raw umber wash.
Also applied some dust overspray.
The road is a hard packed dirt road in the winter of 1945. Ice would only make the surface harder.
I did look at some photographic evidence.
