For those that dont know, here are the specs: 1/35 Academy M-10 tank destroyer with interior. OOB. Dragon Volksgrenadiers Ardennes 1944. Dio title-Last taste of victory. Takes place around December 22, the crew was caught off gaurd and fled the scene.
well, let me know what you guys think. And a big Specaial thanks to Mike for the MG! thanks Mike!
NOTE: All shine is due to flash.

Heres some mud you guys told me too add, and I am very happy you did![:D]

{edit} the gap in the upper hull to chassis is because the hull is not glued to the chassis.

John, that is one sweet dio, Very impressed. I love the snow, how did you do it?

took me a couple of tries, but its Woodland scenics Microballoons on top of Plaster of Paris. I mixed the micro balloons with some modge podge put it on the plaster. Then when it dried I sprinkled some more micro balloons on and sealed it with hairspray.

Thanks for the kind words!

looks good. one comment, mabey you didnt take a good pics, but it looks as if there are no tracks in the snow at all from figures or even the tank. with snow like that, id expect to see some heavy duty track and infantry prints. looks good though
