Seems I've missed a bit Gary . Amazing work on all. One question though,  are you going to hit the figures although dull coat or semil gloss ? To me they are a bit shiny....harv

Thank you, Harv.  Yes, there will be a lot of matte-coating.  But since I have to handle everything a few more times, I'm not going to matte coat just yet.

I like the setting a lot, you made them look 'heavy', especially the T-34. The burn effects do look very good. I would place more dust on the tank, maybe a bit more on the T-34.

Cheers Rob

Thank you, Rob.  There is so much more to do.  The T-34 needs to be dirtied up and I need to put more detritus on it.  I've been toying with trying to make blisters in the paint.  But my ideas haven;t been tried yet as I have much to do on the groundwork, yet.

Thank you, Kevin.  It's been so long since I saw that, that I can't even remember the scene.  I've been watching a lot of Nightshift (the armor modeller) and he's gone from just doing models and began making bases and figures with his builds.  Everything just looks more impressive when there is even a small dio around it.

Took the kids to the Tank Museum in Carentan last time we were in Normandy. They had a half-size replica Tiger which would be a great runaround in some of the traffic round here.

Time to call this one done.  My first diorama...   it has some warts.  But it was fun at times and always interesting.  You can find the photos here:
