well guys, I finally added some mud and finished the base to My M-10 dio.

For those that dont know, here are the specs: 1/35 Academy M-10 tank destroyer with interior. OOB. Dragon Volksgrenadiers Ardennes 1944. Dio title-Last taste of victory. Takes place around December 22, the crew was caught off gaurd and fled the scene.
well, let me know what you guys think. And a big Specaial thanks to Mike for the MG! thanks Mike!
NOTE: All shine is due to flash.

Heres some mud you guys told me too add, and I am very happy you did! Big Smile [:D]

thanks! Smile [:)]

{edit} the gap in the upper hull to chassis is because the hull is not glued to the chassis.

The tank looks great John,the snowcover looks natural and the figures are quite well done,just two things,could use a few more trees/bushes and maybe turn that turret just a tad,the expiriences I`ve had with gunbarrels overhanging the base is enough to me shudder! Great build!

Very nicely done! The tank looks great, the figures are quite well done, the snow is very convincing...just a super job overall. Great build, thanks for sharing!

Overhanging barrels...Well I've never had a problem with them. My usually get broke off and that fixes the problem. Wink [;)]

Back to the point...Great snow dio. The snow seems to be very popular, seeing everyone do such a great job on them makes me want to try one. The German camo looks very nice, and the mud adds alot to the tank. Great build.

Thanks for the show.

thanks guys! I'm inetested to see whats going to happen to my barrel sometime in the future (snap) or maybe not Black Eye [B)]

I dont know about anyone else, but I think I am starting to build in, sort of a trend ex. in Winter I built a winter dio, in summer a summer dio, in fall, a fall dio. Now this spring-summer I am building an early summer dio.
