Hi All
here is dio of a Panzer IV crew stopping to get some fresh milk in Normandy. while he's milking the cow he's comrades look on while relaxing except one who's looking out for JABO's
The Panzer IV is from Revell with just a few minor details added to it.
The crew are from AB Miniatures
The cows and fences are from Kerroby Hobbies(Aussie company) and the static grass, foliage and trees are from woodland scenics.
the Panzer IV, static grass and figures have been painted using acrylics and drybrushed.

Really nice work in this small scale . The idea is nice, the setup is too tight and clever, and the whole thing came out super good . I like that a lot, and also i like that fact that it s not a space eater!!! Good work bravo

hi Ron,
another masterpiece in small scale. Painting of Panzer IV and figures are very good, I couldnt see theeyes of sitting cow groundwork is also very nice but the road look so plain to my eyes. IMHO a few rocks and deeper track prints would make it better .
...and I think a sig line banner linking to your website would make it easier for all members to see the excellent models in your website.

Ron, very nice build. The only thing that catches my eye is the interior of the turret hatch. It seems rather plain and looks like some sort of handle mechanism or other detail could have been added.

Thanks for all the nice coments guys and girls really appreciate them.
Engin Kayral - The cow lying down it's eyes seem to be closed slighty so I only did a slight blck line on the eyes but you can't see them in the pics.
And with the road I only added a little dirt to the mix but you are right it does look a little plain.
With the sig line banner I've tried but it does'nt come up so any help would be great

A huge story on a very small diorama. Excellent work, congrats. I like the painting of the tank and the foliage.
