Well, I've started my king tiger in 72, and after a lot of research I found that I can do it in an ardennes scenery and without zimmerit. This all began with my need to build my first tank and to display it in a dio with some baking-soda snow the problem is that I'm facing a modellers block when it comes to acuracy/criativity...I can do the tiger in a winter scenery but I wanted it crossing a big stone brigde, like that one in a 72nd dio I found in a big feature article a couple of pages behind, covered with some snow and a dry muddy river-canal...Should I research some more and try to find some bridge pics from the towns were the battle took place, and try to start a dio from a pic, or should I get some creative license and just make a cool lookin scenario? I guess it would be up to me but I need some incoragment This as been starting to be a problem, this block thing...I see some great works in the gallerys and I wich that some day I can get some dios displayed over my house, but I dont know if you really pay attention to stuff like this...After all, my tiger will have a "correct" camo and I'll do my best on weathering it but it'll be worthless if I put it in an "impossible scenario"

counting on some hints

I would suggest you look at photos from the area to get some ideas about the terrain. From there I say to just make a cool looking scene using the knowledge you have from observing the photos. I would bet that somewhere in that offensive a King Tiger crossed a stone bridge over a stream, small river or even irrigation or drainage canal. Just try to get a feel for the area and have fun!!
By the way, if you choose to make the bridge more on the order of a stone culvert, you have some options available with 1/87 scale model railroad supplies such as Woodland Scenics.

I will tell you what I always do when I suffer of Modelers Block or Modeling blues:

I pick a book about WW2 doesn`t matter what subject or whatever. I read it. Get the Itch back. Then I read something about the Subject I wanna built. Result:
I get started in modeling in no time.
