At a brief glance, those look great. Definitely a fruitful year, at least according to my standards. The figures though, would probably look better with some of those gaps filled. Or maybe that's just the wash. They are most apparent in the belt areas. Still, hardly noticeable.

I think the only gaps there are, is their shoulders. I'm a very inconsisant figure maker
and much perfer to build the vehicals, but alas i try to improve with each new dio.

Oustanding builds. I love your figure painting. I can relate to not having much time, so I say kudos for three high quality dios in a year's time.

WOW!  That is a nice bit of work for a year.  I particularly like 'Sniper Attack'.  Got anymore photos of that one?  What kit is it?  And I think your figure painting is pretty darn good!

WOW, man! That's some seriously GORGEOUS work!

I particularly like "Sniper Attack" as well! The composition and action in it is just outstanding! What did you use for snow?

Very talented work, Sir! Please keep posting here, and do a WIP (work in progress) post of your next build if you can?!

Great stuff. "Sniper Attack" is very tense, good action. Having the MkIV crossing the existing, frozen ruts is excellent.

I have to agree. "Sniper Attack" is one of the best dioramas I've seen in a long time, I think. It does look like there's a nasty seam running down the leg of the guy on the ground, but that might just be the lighting or something.

I'm also wondering about the time frame of this dio. If I'm not mistaken this is an Ausf. H, but is using an air recogition device, which I think would have been used more prominently earlier on?

The snow is from woodland scenics, i also used their glue as well.
The wounded guy on the ground does have a seem on one leg, i either just missed it or
thought it was part of the pants at the time. The flags were used early on in the war
but i figured there were times later on when they may have used them again for ID.
