A couple of ideas....
Why don't you put a pile of rubble under the Sherman in order to position the tank at the same level with the turret!So it will be coming down to the turret instead of climbing onto it...This way you also have better view angle of the tank in your dio.
Another idea,should you expand the base,is having the Sharman going over the barel of the turret instead of the whole thing.Two birds with one stone...Disabled turret and obstacle problem solved...

A couple of good ideas there Tasos,
I was intending to add a lot more rubble under the sherman to make it at less of an angle with the base (and therefore its underbelly less of a target), and to make it easier to have climbed onto the turret. I can't really make it too high as the pantherturm would have had to of had room for it's turret to traverse. On the other hand, it is quite possible that rubble from collapsed buildings could easily have fallen onto the turret.
As for expanding the base, i'm not to keen on this idea for a few reasons.
- Firstly because everything already fits onto this in a nice tight little dio.
- Secondly, i'd have a hard time expanding the base and making it look good, as the cobblestone effect would have to be accurately copied, the base is higher at one end than the other and keeping the curved outline of the base looking natural would be very hard.
- Finally, i'm running out of room to display all my dio's and so i'm of the opinion less is more!

D'OH!
