Nice work spaniard. The weathering on the tank is great. The metal look looks very realistic. The figures are a very nice touch. They look very nice. I like the use of your background pics, especially the first one with the trees in the background. Keep up the good work.

Thanks guys for your nice words.I know that the photo in the back is Australia,but the objective was to give some background,with all the nice sky, and was the only big photo that I had.But I was betrayed by the Ayers Rock,lol.
You like the tank and the figures,for me thats all that matter,but I will follow your advice about the grass in the front and in the back of the tank. Do you like the paint driping off in the number of the tank?
Thanks a lot for your comments

Very nice work. I will join however in the comments regarding the backdrop ( a very small point really). Not only did the Russians not fight in the desert, they did not fight in Australia! Unless I am very much mistaken, that is Ayer's Rock in the background. A small flaw in an otherwise brilliant piece of work.

Very nice. I recently used the Dragon Russian Tank Riders in a dio and those figures are really good. I agree with the suggestion of adding grasses in front of the tank (only if it is still possible, of course),

Great job!

I really like the dio great use of the weathering on the tank and the figures skin colour looks great.
I like how you used the backdrop the only thing I would suggest is in the second, third and fourth pics don't use a desert backdrop that's if I'm (not mistaken) for a Europe dio.

A very well-done scene. The weathering, the mud on the tank, the lack of light-glares on the figures... all quite nice. The dirt on the tank, and the boots... looks like these guys have been out in the business for a long stint, eh?

Hey, is that Australia in the background? That big red rock looks familiar... ~GRINS~

But seriously, the sky in that backdrop looks good with the scene. but I think the brush/trees backdrop is very good for complementing the grasses of the dio.

Very cool!

Thanks Kelly,Lone_soldier and Mustang10 for you very kind words.
I use lighter fuel(zippo) to mix with the pigments,because evaporate very quick,and humbrol enamel paints for the figures.
Kelly_Zak i like your idea about the grass in the front and in the back of the tank,i will do it
Thanks again guys

Funny that, I'm going to be starting the same kit! LOL Nice weatheing on the tank MS, it's given me a couple ideas for mine. I like the figures, especially the guy carrying the brown sack. I like the muddy boots, a great touch. What did you do, mix some water in MiG pigments? Like the tall straw/grass
A couple of teeny suggestions? What about adding some grass in front of the tank, and some bent and trampled grass behind the tank, to show it really going through the field?
Nice work Pedro...
