MP 38s were used in '39... Close enough in 1/35th scale...

I really like this one, the grass looks great, the scale of the tank in relation to the figures is nice, it's a good thing they're there, otherwise I'd think this guy was larger.

The only thing, and this is just the slightest nit pick, if it were me (and it's not so don't feel as though I'm telling you what to do, just throwing an idea out too late) and the figures weren't beyond removal, I would switch them, have the lead German looking over the gate as if checking behind the wall, and have the rear German up front, looking up as if over the wall skyward, I just feel like the hight difference of the wall and gate would make a little more sense with the figures that way. But it really does look great now. Great little scene

 I think it's a fair amount of stowage, not too overpowering to take away from the figs behind it.

Looks great waterboy! I really like the addition of figs, to add the sense of scale and added realizm. Nice paint work/ base work.

Nice looking dio!

How can you say stowage is inapropriate in Poland based on the pictures you have seen? There were thousands of tanks in the invasion. Not all are photographed, not all are photographed every hour..   Who know? Those supplies may have been something that was just going some few miles down the road...   -Lasse

I never said I have seen ALL of the pictures of every vehicle on the campaign.  However, based on the huge number that I have seen, stowage on German vehicle was EXTREMELY rare during this campaign.  There are a few, that is why I said I had not seen many.  I am not trying to "subdue someone's creativity" as mentioned in another post.  Just a comment based on my OPINION (just like yours is).  Lets not hijack this post and take credit away from this nice little scene.

Great work! Armor is very well done, I like the figs positions, gives a good sense of action as they peer over the fench!

I like this.  Simple, straightforward, and nicely executed.

Congrats,

Nice simple scene. I kinda like it. I would have left off the stowage though, not many pictures of Polish campaign vehicles with stowage on them.
