Free French M5 in Italy

Yes, branches for camo were the norm in many areas. I think that is way underdone. But finding good branches to use in 1/35 or 1/48 is a challenge as well. Very nice work on the Marder BTW.

My dirty Marder. I used an old photo just like your picture as a reference and again that was one dirty vehicle. Maybe we should rough these things up a bit and a lot used branches for cover. Something else we rarely do. Bish did one a while back that was pretty convincing. Terry

Stik for the most part these vehicles were beat up and really dirty, sometimes I think we make them to nice and not like that these photos. A while back I built a Marder that was beat up, shot up and showed this thing was in some winter battles. Thats one of the more realistic AFV's I've built.

Great pic,,,,  thanks for sharing
