From the Geryhound on the back of the Stug i reccon this is the 113th Panzer Divizion. Great figures, where did you get em? Is the Stug Tamiya, Dragon, Mc Donnalds, Wendy's , Jack in a Box ? Its very cleanly built but how about adding kill rings around the barrel? Or adding some of that famous salt paint chipping around the side armor plates? Its all very peaceful in your dio although i adore action, might i suggest adding a Kubelwagen or a sniper at rest?

Looking very good Karl. I think though considering the condition of the building you need alot more rubble!

Honestly I don't see what you mean by "a Clean Build" it's weathered and dirtied up. I believe Karl's focus of the diorama is the Stug, and the action surrounding it, with the tank commander talking to the soldier on the side of the road. I would think that adding a kubelwagen would detract from Karls plan for the dio, besides it not fitting.

Very cool dio!. Everything looks very good, the weathering, figures, building...I agree with Sticky though, you need to add more rubble and debris to the road and sidewalk. Great job!

Nice build, but I would have to agree, the building is in such bad shape I think there needs to be more rubble. All in all though I like the work, nice figures and well painted. Is there a partial floor in the hotel lobby? If there is, something in the lobby might be a good visual addition.
