I'd say that is your best to date. The snow, mud and figures are well done.

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.

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.

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!

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!
