Hi friends, thank you for the compliments. The unshave beard I made with a (soft) dry brush with medium grey.

Cheers

Hi airtrans, thank you. The Sherman is an old Tamiya kit that I was an upgrade see the pic below (left before, right after the upgrade).

The figures are Dragon 101st. set.

Cheers

it looks great! is that the DML Sherman? or just the troops from it?

The snow and how it appears the Soldiers wiped the markings clear to show them adds good realism.

The only thing i dont like is the chain on the Panther, Im not usually picky and i donnt think it shouldnt be on there but i think T26 is getting to me and I think tyhat it poses a sort of problem getting caught on something like the tracks.

Thank you Steve and Tango. The street section I made with plaster and engraved with a scribber, the street lamp is resin and the fence was made with an old credit card. The grass I used sawdust.

Hi Pedro, thank you. The snow I made with plaster and some "talcum" powder after the plaster dry, first I applied diluted white glue with a brush and then I sprinkle some talcum powder, for the recent snow. Wink [;)]
