Greetings everyone. Just completed this little dio here and I would like to share it with you all. This dio feature a much fear German Sturmtiger which lost its controlled and crashed into a farmyard after being knocked out by the 82nd Airborne Paratrooper. In pursuing the retreting German crews and troops, a team of airborne trooper taking covered beside the disable tiger were assessing the situation before making the next assault. Thank you

waw, awsome dio coca! very well built and very well painted! congratulations!
Cheers and happy modelling!
Prato

Nice little dio
Great painted, how did you painted the 82nd AB patches? They are so small

Hi Prato, thanks for the comments and compliments.
Hi Erik, thanks for the comments and as the 82nd airborne AA patches I hand painted them.

But how they are so tiny, I wish I could paint like you

Excellent work, very well weathered, greatmodeling skill here. Two things though. In the last picture, the first aid kit on the helmet looks like there's a mold line across the bottom. Second, the loose run of track would look more effective if you had sagged them between the roadwheels and given them more feeling of massive weight. With no tension on them, gravity should be at work.

WOW thats fantastic, great wheathering, excellent figs too!! Keep up the great work

Congrats Coca:

Just a very straightforward approach and simple in design; . . . but, oh so effective. The photographs are just beautiful. . . filled with so much drama and the sense of action yet to come. The dark background and dramatic lighting is really a major factor in looking at your work, IMO. The vehicle has such great attention to detail and the figs are . . . well what can I say, mate? Just right on the mark.

And handpainted shoulder patches? Coca? Jour kiddin' man. Wow. Just a first class presentation. Your dio here proves that it doesn't have to have 21 figs to be effective. Now, am I saying that 21 figs is too many ? Of course not. It's just that your approach, with a well executed vehicle and a basic approach, works so well. Congratulations once again,

Great dio you got there! The strumtiger looks great, love the paint and weathering on it. I do have to agree on one of Al's comments about the tracks. They should be a little more sagging, and bunched up.

Is that the Dragon Paratrooper Normandy set?

The painting on the tank and figures is fantastic. Can't fault anything apart from the track sag that's already been mentioned. Go to the top of the class !

Very impressive, I'm looking forward to seeing more of your work.

Wow! That's a beautiful dio. I especially like how you weathered your Sturmtiger with the nicks and scatches and all. Amazing!

Lemme guess, your figures came from Dragon, right? I think I have those. How I wish I could paint like you do.

Very nice.

Angela

Greetings everyone, thank you very much for the comments and compliments.
Yes right, the figures are from Dragon Airborne Paratrooper Normandy set.

another award winning build by Mr Wong

Congrats!

coca, Excellent work. I really love the figures and strumtiger. Both are very well done and make this dio a masterpiece. My hat is off to you. Cheers Kevin

Hi Danny, Hi Kevin, thank you for your comments and compliments. I'm flattered
cheers....

For the paratrooper set, did you use the new spruce that is included with the 60th anniversary edition? Cos i have 1 at home but the new heads can't fit the old body.

Coca does it again

very well executed dio mate. Very good job on the SturmTiger. I have only one comment (small one). The groundwork looks very muddy so you would expect that this heavy tank would be pussed more into the groundwork. Enough nitpickin'....

Keep up the extremely good work. What will be your next build?

Cheers mate,
Jurjen

hi errie and jurjen, thanks for the comments and compliments. The paratrooper is a old set fromDragon, but I did some modification work to enhance the pose.

Outstanding work. The paintjob and the weathering of the Sturm Tiger is amazing. The ground work and the figures look great.
One little thing though. I would have liked to see the figures pressed slightly into the ground. Particularly in picture 9, the middle figure is standing on top of the grass. Nothing major, just a little nitpicking. Besides that, it's a beautiful piece of work.

Hi coca.

Its a very nice model.
But I've one nitpick. Should the right drive sprocket not ''bling-bling'' ?? You know bare metal?

Further looks it great.

Can't wait to see your next project!!
