i did a lot of reseach on this...to make it a tank that actually existed: Franz Frauscher's Panther #431, sliped through the american defenses in the bulge, and enflicted a lot of casulties, including about 3 shermans
the putty kept shrinking when i built it up so in some places i put balsa uinder it and in some (on the fallin tree) i put hot glue, and painted it white. the standing tree was supposed to be an entire tree with isicles and everything but i got mad one day and got sick of glueing branches so i broke it in two.
thanks for looking!-DJ

hmm, very interesting. Should consider attaching that background permanently. Great snow effect.

That's pretty cool. I like the buildup of snow on the roadwheels, nice touch. The painting is pretty well done. Wish I was artistic. Cool kitty.

Well the tank looks swell and does your drawing, I like how you also made the snow out of putty, must've took a while, good job.

i started this model 4 years ago, i really messed it up, so i recently rebuilt it, and put it in this dio... the kit is tamiyas 1/35 panther, the base is just wood covered in water putty painted with a set of techniques to look like snow, the trees a branches, the branches on the tank are leaves from a bush, its all handpainted..
