    Very nice, indeed! The overall effect is amazingly realistic.
    I tried to imagine what happened to that Pz IV: the tank hit an A/T mine with its left track and became a sort of practice target...

          Thank you so much Andrea, That is exactly the scenario, once disabled by an ingeniously placed mine,
          she was a sitting duck.
          In many cases the street stones were surgically removed, the soil hollowed out, then the mine was emplaced
          then the stones were very gingerly replaced so as to show no sign of disturbance.

          Thank you again for your kind words.

          Jim

              It certainly has the 'Grumpa' trade mark all over it. Great work.

                              Thanks so much guys, so sorry it took so long to thank you both for your kind words.
                              Have been busy as a beaver of late...and not modeling, unfortunately, but one must bear his crosses.

                              Trying to complete at least my Tamiya 'Dragon Wagon' but my style won't permit a hurried result,
                              but things are rounding the final bend.

                              Am also working on a semi- shot up Sherman to be used in a massive dio, being winched onto trailer.
                              Should be fun if I can ever find the time, but still I'm glad I'm retired now....:smiling5:...:rolling:

                              Jim.
