Simple, yet effective build. I like the mud too. Agree with the other comments. Good job.

Doesn`t take much to do up a nice little piece and present it in a very unique way,ground cover is excellent,snow is a little too bright for me but that`s probably due to the camera and lighting,everything works well,very nice work.

To be honest, I hadn't even thought of a PE set for this kit. The gun is of such poor quality, I probably should have kept the wheels and axle...maybe the sidewalls...and scratch built the rest. But then it wouldn't have been a "quickie" build anymore.

"Stubborn Defense"

This is a quick diorama I constructed over the past 12 days using Italeri's German 7.5cm Howitzer kit #6400. The kit itself is pretty good overall with the figures being very good, but the gun is not the greatest and needs a lot of work.

In the diorama below, I used a few sandbags from the Tamiya sandbag set, dried plants, Woodland Scenics snow, logs made from Azalea stems clipped from my bushes, ground clutter from Hudson & Allen, and of course, Sculptamold. As I've mentioned in the past, I prefer this over Celloclay because it does not crack or shrink when drying...even in solid blocks.

Here she is...let me know what you think...I call it, "Stubborn Defense":
