Story line is, an M10 tank crew have found a stash of French wine and proceded to get p*$$*d, then have to try and get back into the tank.
Its an Academy M10 with Trax acessories, Verlinden building (only the shell), tank crew, one modified as he didn't have any legs, and food acessories.
Comments welcome, good or bad :-) :-) . Couple of more pics in my gallery. Thanks Andy.
sorry about pics, completly useless with a camera

Your tank looks extremely glossy and same with your figures. What type of paint are you using? The rubble looks good. The story line is also really entertaining. Thanks for sharing with us.

agree with Harrison, the tank and figures look glossy, tho its probly from the camera also.
The story is very entertaining, i love it, looks liek a bunch of 15 year olds partying lol
it also gave me a great idea. haveing a drunk driver drive a tank on a country road

dont blame you for the blurry pics man, just got my digi camera and I have yet to put pics of mine up for the lack of 'camera skills'
anywho..
the storyline is very entertaining and the building looks very good.
only thing that hasnt been pointed out, is the road, looks like it has too much of a clay color in it, maybe you could break it up a bit and add some rubbel and wood shards in the road. just a suggestion
looks like it was a lot of fun to build.

Give the vehicle and figures a coat of flat varnish (that's too glossy to just be the lights I reckon) and a dark wash and light drybrush to bring out the detail on the road ( it looks too light) and you've got a darned good model there. Apart from those points that is a good storyline, and a well made and assembled diorama. Even the figures poses are believeable.

Haha the story is very funny!
I agree you should apply a matt coat on the whole thing! It looks too glossy now...

The storyline is great. I like it. The figures and the tank is to glossy, but that is easely fixed with a matt coat.

You did a great job on the inside of the building, I like the passed out GI-brings back some memories. I would just tone it down a bit.

Looks extremelly funny, very original.
I like the whole setting.
I agree with the others; it's to glossy.
Don't worry just apply a matt coat and it disappear.
Don't shame about the blurry pics.....
Nice dio, good work!!
