Hi guys, I finished up my hetzer dio for the Ardennes offensive campaign. The hetzer is from DML as is all of the figures. The bunny is from Historex. I call it" first snow on the road to Malmedy" Let me know what you think.

Very good Don, it all really fits nicely together. A worthy entry for the campaign, and something for us to try and aspire to....the snow far to fluffy not to be real, did you take the pic's in your refrigerator? I still have to get going properly on mine, but have been sidetracked by my Pzr IV F1..

Cheers
Henk

Very nice. The ground work and snow are very realistic. The figures are great too. The uniforms look wet, muddy and heavy. They look miserable and fatigued. The Hetzer looks fine too. Great job, you definately have something to be proud of here.

Waterboy -

Just plain outstanding! I'm not sure I've seen a diorama that has captured this "first snow" approach so effectively. I get the feeling that it is actually just snowing as you look at the dio. Great job! The Hetzer and figures compliment the whole scene perfectly.
