Here we are, calling this finished, been great fun, messy doing the snow ! Best done out side , well, under carport with protective covers. DUD Just realised the tank commander is waiting for his head phone cables, never mind you all know what they look like.:smiling3:

GRASS HEADS JUST FOR Steve :nerd:. There was grass all over the area around the house, but of course the snow has hidden it.:upside:

That's it, thanks for following, coats off now. Please leave in an orderly manor. C&C Welcome.

John.

Going to think what to do next, will of course be Russian with a decent paint colour. ;)

WOW!! That is certainly a wintry scene. The figures are fantastic. Nice touch with the fire wood stack. A terrific dio mate. You must be pleased with how its turned out. Well done that man.

Hi mate, did you notice the grass, I put quire a lot down, although it is covered by the snow the texture did effect the snow well . The fire wood stack was a late addition, after cutting them to length I decided to split them, used the Chopper.:smiling3: Just one push and straight through.

Love it John
Thanks Jack:thumb2:.

Man that looks cold...great dio mate, well done!
Appreciate that Tim, thanks.

Thats fantastic John... it genuinely makes me feel cold.... a chilling dio!

Thanks Jason, even my figures are better !

Hi Jim, glad you enjoyed it. Yes very pleased, quite happy doing this snow now, just takes so long to build it up.

Very, very nicely done John.

Thanks Peter, hope you approved of the figures. Found the white hard to get a decent covering.

Thanks guys.

Painting some figures at the moment, trying a different approach, painting everything before gluing the body together. I find it so hard to get the straps done one the arms are on. Time will tell .

John.

Thanks Neil, enjoying the figures much more, apart from the faces. Have to just rely on a games wash over the skin to give shadows.

That has captured the wartime winter perfectly John, something to be proud of.

Andy.
Thanks mate, the more I look at it I am.

Congrats. You must be very proud of it.

Fantastic cold dio John, love the heavy snow effect on the panzer and troops.
Neat little detail too with the firewood next to the shed.
One to be proud of:thumb2::thumb2::thumb2::thumb2::thumb2:
