Heres my entry for this months contest. This is Dragons premium Sdkfz 184 Elefant. I modeled this to represent unit 102 of the 1. sJgAbt 653 . This was the Elefant captured by Allied troops and is now on diplay at Aberdeen Proving Grounds. I added Eduards p/e set , a Lionroar metal barrel, and Friulmodel tracks and sprockets.

Tim:
The kit built up nice. I especially like the weathering you have done. The damage on the front mantlet is a fine touch
Good luck

Your Elefant looks great. The weathering is very convincing and the battle damage is also extremely well done. Did you do the Zim yourself or is it an aftermarket set?
Fantastic job!
