Well Pilgrim I didn't think to use a non-Russian. I'll have to investigate that path.

Alan...i apologize it has taken me soo long to post. I really like what i am seeing so far..and i do agree with others in saying you need some more "filler"..I like the overall presentation..but still would love to see those debris piles a little more close up..hehe.
Can't wait to see how you improve it..Keep us posted..lots of pics..we need lots of pics...

Here is another small update. Only the German soldiers have been locked in place. Some of the falling soldiers won't make sense now because the Russian soldiers shooting at them are missing.

There sill be a house to house battle inside the big building. One guy has been shot through the doorway but the RUssian has not yet been added.

As in the first pics, I used pink insulation foam. It's easy to cut out holes and break it up the walls.

Shay. Just for you. I placed a few Russians in the wreck but they are not locked down. Nor do they have any of their weapons but you get the idea of the German being ambushed attempting to go through the doorway.

Great job so far, Its developing quite well. Only critique I have to offer is be sure to give it some washes of dark color throughout the rubble. All in all great job so far! Cheers Kevin

Here is my Russian human wave against an MG42 position. I have at least 3 more running Russians I will be setting on the street and going over the top of the rubble

Added more to the Human Wave. I have one more Russian to finish. Then I will also need to add plenty of brass for the MG42

I like it! There real action and blood in it! I have only got one question: Weren't the uniforms of German soldiers the late type in Berlin? They all look the early/ mid type to me! Well, I may be wrong! forgive if so!
Cheers and happy modelling!

I have no idea about German uniforms. I just used up stuff from the parts box!!
Ideally I wanted to find a variety of uniforms as the last ragtag bunch of defenders probably wouldn't care much about uniforms.
