After numerous tries I have managed to post this pic at last.
Thanks to 007 and Halfyank! Couldn't have done it without you.
When I joined Armorama I promised to show some of my work, 'cause otherwise it all looked like a lot of talk witout back up.
The quality of the photo isn't very good, but i'll fix that in future. It's not that I wanted to hide any imperfections by making it look fuzzy.

The white wash is very nice. I like the way you have the snow and frozen ice on the tracks. It is very realistic. I too am looking forward to seeing some more of your work.

Very nice model there Rudie. I especially like the tracks, are they an after market product? If so, where did you get them?

Nikola,
I'm in agreement with the others. What I see looks very good, but it would be nice to see more (and cleared) photos. Hope to see more real soon.

Hey Nikola!
You see there's nothing to it (uploading a pic in the forum, that is...), specialy since Jim has put back the copy option in the gallery!
I like the model and the way you whitened it. Is it a Tamiya model?
And I'm curious how did you make the snow??(for as I are planning a snowy dio also)
And sure, we want more pictures! More, more always more!!! :-) :-) :-)

Sorry, but my digit camera isn't very good with close-ups. I'll get around to fixing that.
I used the academy PzIV separate tracks. They aren't very good to look at but the snow very much disguises that.
I used ordinary baking soda mixed with PVA glue for the model and the dio as well. The trick is to sprinkle some dry soda on top of the mixture so that it does not look mushy. I fixed it with hairspray when it dried up. That reduces the risk of it falling appart.
I painted the model in the normal camouflage sceme and then sprayed it with diluted temper water-based white and slowly scached it and washed away with a tampon the paint where it would come into hard use.

Nikola, I like it a lot. How did you make the snow? I guess the german cross shown here could've received a bit more weathering.

Like I said - baking soda and PVA glue for the snow. Point taken on the cross.
