The detail and composition are fantastic, really! Congrats on the award; that award in particular is a hard one to come by!
The only thing I could think of suggesting is to watch how heavy you drybrush the flat spots, like the trailer's fenders, the Tiger's gun barrel, etc. You seem to have a lot of paint transfer there that unnaturally filters the base coat and kinda obscures it, IMO.
Other than that, great camo painting on the figs for the most part, and I agree about the outstanding trees--what the heck did you use for them? I've never seen trees like that.

Hey doog,the problem is'nt the dry brushing it's my pic's way to much lighting.The tree,s I made using real twig's for the trunk's and dried fern's that I picked up at my local craft store.These were the second set I made for this dio our cat ate the first one's I made.And no I did'nt skin e'm.

I think that you've done an excellent job. Lots of attention to detail. I like your trees, too. Do tell.

I love the groundwork details. Trying to get more into the dio work myself and you have given me some ideas. Overall looks great, especially the figures. Love the trees, What did you use??

Nice job on the tools and all the wood too. One of the only things I noticed is in the back of the Kettenrad it looks like a bit of overspray or something? Kinda dusty looking. Nice weathering and painting on the tiger too. And good job on the uniforms.

that is a very nice piece,the flow looked good to me and i espesially liked the camo'ed uniforms,when a fella takes the time to do the uniforms in 1/35 to the level you have it really makes the whole work look great.in my book you rate right up there with the Doog and Manstiens Revenge.just my humble opinion great job.

we're modelers it's what we do
