Hi Mirko,
I like your work here. Very nice.
I think the figures are from ICM. Very good quality figures indeed.
regards

Lookin good Mirko. The T34 tracks are very metal in colour ... maybe a wash of burnt sienna would be enough to rust them up a bit.
The bed roll and tank appear to have pretty much the same dark green. Also the straps of the bed roll should be painted with another colour to break up all that green. Good choice of green though, for the tank.
Im really glad to see those ICM figures built and painted. I bought those last week and was very impressed by the detail on the parts. Did your friend have much problems building them? Need much filler? Any info here would be appreciated.

thanks all for replies!

Frank, the tracks are not glossy, its bare white plastic, i just sprayed a black coat before cleaning them up, will neeed to fully paint them again and then weather them.

And you are right about bedroll and straps, bed roll is darker green (not noticable on pics) but the straps i forgot totaly, thanks!!!

I built the figs and the friend painted them, no much problems and yes small ammount of filler needed usualy under the belt on the back. othervies very much nice details on the figs.

cheers

I really like it and the figures will suit a diorama very well.

Well done

You've definitely got the key pieces for a nice looking diorama in place. Don't overdo the rust /weathering
