Fantastic, just Fantastic! The Panzer is awesome on it's own. I love the weathering. Something so cool about warn used Whitewash camo :thumbup: But the riders give it more realism. Add some fresh snow like that and it's a complete winner! Well done sir.

I have a rather stock Torro Tiger I that I hope to winter-weather-ize. I'll be fortunate if I can do half as well. And those Winterketten: Yes!

Awesome. It would probably take me years to paint that many figures... :)

I took 65 pics that morning from my Ostfront Winter Batallion.
Way too many to post on here ofcourse, and most are oversized anyway so the forum does not take them!

Good Evening!
The Perfect amount of Snow for the Subjects of these Pics. If anything shows up far ahead requiring attention from the Panther, it can easily fire over the StuG (just give the StuG riders a second to bail!) (the Panther ones too!). Beautiful Stuff, Rob!

You've inspired me to add riders to my rather stock Torro Tiger I. Right now some winter grime and rust is drying on the upper hull, lower hull, and the tracks. Then I can go on to weigh it down with gefrohrene Männer. I actually enjoy painting figures, as it is quiet work (quietly frustrating)---as opposed to the sweeping mistakes I can make with a wash, a weathering product, and an airbrush. 8O

Good morning Rob. It goes to show the effectiveness of your painting. I did not notice the Panther and Stug, in front of the Panzer IV in photo 2. And of course your excellent photography.

G‘day fellow tank builders.
Mentioned this before I guess, but taking pics in the snow needs quite some attention.
One footstep in the snow, next to a model or a set of figures, and the pic is ruined!
I also try to pay attantion to not having real sized objects in the pics, like garden furniture, a brick wall and more of those things which make the pics unrealistic.
Sometimes I cannot avoid it too, unfortunately!
During the Summer, the footstep issue does not occur, you can wipe the sand over it if necessary.
In Autumn huge leaves falling down can give an unreal look too.
So you see, it‘s not that easy shooting pics hahaha
Kidding!
Have a great day guys!
Rob.
