Hi Ian! I used Tamiya sprays cans as i don't airbrush..B/g Dark Yellow, Dark Green pattern while the Red Brown rims were hand-painted. I masked the Dark yellow from the Dark Green using plastercine! Would like to see how ur Marder turns out.

Actually I don't agree about the debris in the street. I like it fine just as it is. Has the look of a lot of wartime photos, just a group of soldiers on their way somewhere stopped consulting a map. Not a lot going on, but very believable & atmospheric. Are these Dragon figures, looks a lot like Jochen Peiper to me. The officer with the "leggings" is I believe wearing the special felt & leather winter boots.

Hi Steve!..Yup, the fig set is from Dragon "Commanders Conference"..Think it's quite new..Not sure if the Commandr is Jochen Peiper though. U're right that it does not necessarily need debris to make it a realistic scene. probably they captured the town w/o much resistence?. However, I decided to add some debris just to make it look like there was some kind of action going on earlier.
