WOW!!!! That is a beautiful job. Great job on the dio. Bryan

Cheers Tigerman....

Yes he is MMaker....he is just launching himself out........Pic 4 shows a Panzerfgaust round going overhead...he and his mate are jumping out at the point of ambush ''....glad you like it

AJ

Amazing work!
Thats the way I liked the dioramas.With movement and life.
Just like taking a photo at that moment of history.
One note only...Is that gun standing on air???

Wow, what a cool dio. Great whitewashing and the figures are well done too. It looks chilly looking at it.

Cheers guys....Am I the poor peasent who can't spell to well.? ....some say I am :)

AJ

Wow, what a great litlte scene! The truck is amazing to look at, I love all the little paint chips, and it's weathered great. As far as the decal issue, I wouldn't have ever noticed, and I would have just chalked it up to the guy who put it on there as not being too well educated, poor peasent who can't spell to well.
Great job.

Great looking dio

Thad

Well the dio is amazing. But this is one of the biggest problems that I have already seen. The decals on the back are wrong. It says "For Mother Russia", it is written right, but the word For is accually ritten in russian and is not translated. It is one of the most sadest thngs that I have seen when a person like you do a great job and then a decal like this ruins everything. I know this thing because I speak russian. We already discussed this in another thread when some other person did a KV-1 with the same decal and it ruined the whole model. Guys next time send me the pic of the decal is you are not sure, and I will be glad to help you out. As for you, sorry about what happened, the model and the dio loos amazing, but the decal is wrong and it ruins it for someone who can understand russian, also it is not historically accurate.

Good job, and next time try not to make the same mistake with other russian and german models.

Thanks chaps....ta very much


AJ

Excellent work Ali,very dramatic and imaginative! Lovely piece indeed!

Looks great. Fantastic weathering.

Regards, Rick

Very nice job. It will take a while to review the pictures to see all the details. Keep up the great job and thanks for the pictures.
