A very convincing scene. The damage is realistic and the finish is just right. I love those tracks. The first photo looks almost like a photo of the real thing. Bravo and three cheers!!

I must to agree with others :great worksmanship and great weathering resulting in liflike look. Theres one 'but' for me however. The groundwork looks like in spring or summer, and the tank is whitewashed, right?
So that suggests it was knocked out in winter. So after sitting for at least 3 months under the sky exposed to conditions the wash would be far more worn off than you depicted on your tank. My polite suggestion would be to add some snow to the groundwork so the tank would be "younger" in the field or to make the white wash more worn off. Correct me if I'm wrong .

Cheers
Pedro
