Top job Steve, the tank looks superb, wonderful build and in that setting the whole lot comes together beautifully.

Very elaborate little scene Steve.

The diorama is lovely, personally I like very much the different levels on it.

The Sherman is genial, with great details, like the bags or the mud in the front part.

The figures give a very natural sensation of movement!

I think you nailed it

That's really good Steve! Those old Monogram kits lack some details compared to modern stuff, but you'd never know it from your one - I especially like the wooden slats on the turret, just the thing for stopping an 88mm round!

The base is excellent too, the Sherman is barely visible unless you know what to look for!

Cheers Patrick

great build Steve, lov it,all what Polux said as well

i remember that you did have concerns, about the figure, and that looks fine,

must ask are they 1.35 trees ? or big 1.72 as there up on the bank to give more high to them ?

and like the use off a lot off foliage

Top work Steve. As well as a super build, I think you have captured the jungle theme nicely too.
