On the move

Nice3 job with the dio and Sherman sasd . 

Tell me what kit/s and figures did you use because they look great.

Cheers

Ditto on the kits used.

Looks just fantastic sasd, as usual. Very inspiring.

LOL, where's the other Sherman they robbed the tracks off of..

Guys,this one is a tough one as everything came from the parts box,a real mish-mash of parts,a sherman 105mm and tracks from Tamiya,I think an Italeri hull and running gear,I think. Figures are the same way,loader is a Verlinden fig and the crew commander is an old Tamiya CMP quad fig with an Italeri head.

Canadians learned a valuable lesson in Italy by adding extra track as armour their survivorability was increased greatly,and by welding it on by the guidehorns became a sort of early spaced armour.This practice was carried on into Europe.It wasn`t unusual to see Churchill,Tiger 1 and Panther track used.

Buildings are bits and pieces from the old Synergy line rearranged to form a rough street.

As a little tip, the stowage under the tarp are resin plugs squared up and arranged as stowage,now you have a reason to save those chunks of resin!

You've really pulled them together well.  It looks great.

Really like this one Russ, everything about it really stands out, love how you positioned the Sherman going over a mound of rubble, really adds to the scene. Figures are great, and the idea of using resin plugs is great. I've also used lego blocks and bits of eraser and spare chunks of wood under my tarps, no sense in wasting detailed crates!

Nice job!

The display looks awesome.  Well done.

Thanks guys,the positioning of the sherman was chosen out of two locations,coming up the other end or down this side. I`m a nut for in close and compact settings where everything around directly relates to the subject,so when I placed that big ornate chunk of building to the right in the first pic I then knew that that`s where the sherman was going to sit.Brick rubble is real brick smacked with a hammer but watch your eyes,put classes on when doing this kind of stuff! If you can`t come up with a brick get yourself to Micheals or any craft store and purchase a few of those tiny clay plant pots and bust those up,there`s nothin like real lookin rubble!

This is a great looking dio the Sherman looks very natural and the debri is great.
