Good Evening all,
To everyone who entered, Fantastic work!, Gentlemen! Congratulations to xhelix. Superbly detailed and painted and a beautiful example of a rare piece of WWII German armor. Always a welcome sight, those Wehrmacht support vehicles. Reminds us all that the German Army was more than just Panzers.
regards,
Painless

Some excellent work on an excellent tank. Congratulations.

And if it helps anybody in the future, there were a couple of very nice tanks in this month's competition that I did not vote for simply because I felt that they had been over weathered. There's a fine line between just enough and too much, and I have always appreciated the ones that were a little bit under weathered. The tanks this month weren't that bad but I've seen some where guys weather them to the point that they look like they've been sitting in a field for 50 years. Real tank Crews never let their tanks get like that. Just in case that helps anyone in the future.

Thank you for these words!
They hit the nail on the head.
Tank crews are always very proud and take good care of their equipment.
