First off, many thanks for all the comments guys, both here and on the MoM threads. I am currently putting this model into a scene and hope to load up the pics later this week.

Vinnie, just looking at this build in (Models On Display). Its a great build and the tarp came out awesome. One question, why would you put a tarp on this vehicle. You can't use hatches or periscopes,is this used for camo.
Thanks Mike. Yes the tie downs were used for camo, but I wanted to do it different. The idea is the integrity of the roof has suffered damage and is being covered till it gets repaired.

another thing i noticed is most things are dirty or rusted but what about the tow cable,it looks so new.
Apart from the tracks and exhausts there is no other rust on the tank. I have been moving away from the whole chipped-and-rusted look after reseaching the daily maintenance discipline of German tankers. The reason for the shiny cables is that wih the amount of breakdowns these vehicles suffered, I figured they would get a lot of regular use and breakages/replacement. I will concede they should have more dirt so I will add that
