                        Great job on that dio. That Tellermine should turn that assault gun into a nice sardine can. I dont envy those crewmen trying to evacuate under those circumstances! Keep up the good work!

                        thanks fellas for the respons Wink [;)] as for the sandbags; just the usual methode : roll a piece of airdrying childsclay (brand daz i used) into a sigaar and cutt it in segments the size of the bag, take a palet or knive and press it around the bags to give your stitching, take a piece of medical gauze and press it aroud the bag for inprint , when placing or stacking in position( stil wet) i'll brush some white glue on the underside of each bag (in the past i just place them without glue and when they dryed they just fell apart Sad [:(])

                        NOw if that scene doesn't show the action of battle!!!! I love how you capture a moment and then show it to everyone.

                        Like unclesnap, I want to know how you made your sandbags and also your barb wire entanglements, they are awesome!!

                        Great action dio. The groundwork is superb. I really like all the sandbags. Very nice weathering on the SU-100.

                        Superbly done. I'll reiterate all the groundwork comments, as it really is very well done. Did you spray the groundwork, or just left it it's natural colour?

                        Always a pleasure to see your builds. Cross of iron was a cool movie wasn't it. Haven't seen it in a spell. Anyway, I like all of it: groundwork, defenses, action, figs, tank. Job well done.

                        Amazing work, I like how you've added the tree trunk tied to the side of the tank as well, I've seen that in several photos before (Anyone know why they did this?)
