Nicely done. The weathering really brings in the fact that its cold.
I especially like the uneveness of the road and how it is highlighted at the left edge of the road with the humps popping up.

Beautiful Vinnie, I love the way it conveys the damp, miserable feeling of the crew... did the figures come with the kit?
You just can't beat a well excecuted muddy vignette..
well done..

Cheers

I have a deep suspicion that the figures are from tamiyas' Wespe kit.

Thanks for the comments guys. The figures are indeed from the Wespe kit. I think the wespe is one of the best kits Tamiya ever produced, if even for these two figures.
