Well I must admit I'm a sucker for great ground work...And you surely have that. Not to mention an excellent tank. The mud looks so real, and the mud on the tank looks like its still wet Shock [:O]

. All around great build.

That's some really nice work! A quick question for you: How did you get that nice, drapey look on the flag? (I'm finishing up an SdKfz. 223, and it would look very spiffy with just such a flag, you see.)

amazing detail and ground work! how did you do the grass in the ground and on the track? what did you paint the figures with(brush, toothpics,etc)? they are very detailed. the only suggestion i have is that the front upper hull, near the gun, looks really clean, almost spotless, maybe its just the picture though.

other than that, its amazing. Shock [:O]

Nice work Vonryan. The extra jerrycans and that flag really lend a sense of realism to your Stug. The groundwork is very well done and the mud and weathering is well done.
Welcome to the forum and keep up the great work.
