Bender?
I got one question, HOW DO YOU HAVE PEICES GLUED TO THE BACK OF YOUR ARM??
I have been thinking about it and can't really come up with an answer.

omg man, i hope my first comes out that good. im working on the hanomag 251/1(i love the whole hanomag line of vehicles) the snow is awesome, guys look really good too.

my only question is about the ground/mud. how did you do that? it looks really good (almost has a chocolate milk color to it)

Faust I'll have an Amstel, cheers.

Bender those tank parts must be in a very hard to reach place!!!! Thanks for comments.

Col Kurtz thanks for the comments. The ground works was built up with "Polyfilla" a kind of wall filler, and shaped roughly while still wet to form some tracks. Used "Hamster Litter" - (same as kitty litter but smaller) for the surface, just sprinkled on after coating with diluted wood glue, sprayed with the same glue after allowing to set. Painting was done with craft acrylics, base coat of dark earth and some drybrushing with lighter colour but you can't really see that after the snow was put on. I wanted the feel of a frozen forest track with a light dusting of snow and I think I got fairly close. I am definitely going to put some boulders and maybe a small bush in as well after the comments.

I would think this is set just before the BOTB and rather than snow it could be a heavy frost. The yellow markings on the M10 are usually 2nd or 3rd AD and weren't used so much after Normandy. I think US troops didn't get their winter clothing until quite late in the year so the 1941 stuff looks okay. Great model! wish I could do so well. I agree that you need some tank crew for the turret, even if just the top halves. infantry is okay since TD men tended to wear steel helmets (for obvious reasons.

Your first model ? Looks VERY NICE. Beautiful work in my opinion. Nice and tight. (if only I had a dollar for everytime I have heard that.... but nevermind )

A little clean... Not that that's bad But a little dusting or a bit of durt and rust on the tracks would add character.

I remember my first model... mostly glue and fingerprints Not that they have gotten much better.. lol
Again, NICE!

Amazing for a first attempt keep it up! Well done.

Hi Roger,
Just been through this thread and realised that I hadn't responded, sorry mate. If my first AFV had turned out as good as this (we are talking way back in the mists of time, of course) I might (might) still have been modelling armour And the figures are very good as well. My first dio got dusted by the missus, Say no more. :-)
