I'm getting really hacked off missing stuff on S.M. I very nearly missed this.

What can I add to what has already been written?

Paul this is truly masterful, a faultless piece of work. Everything about it is perfect.

I remember when I first joined, a thread was posted saying people were going over the top with praise...In your case my words are fully justified.

Very well done.

Hi Ron

Thanks for the kind words.

Isn't it really difficult to keep up with the forum now?!!! I'm gob smacked by the amount of stuff going through. So don't worry Ron, I'm finding it very difficult to keep up with things myself! This isn't a criticism of the site at all, if anything it's an endorsement of it's success, but it is extremely difficult to keep up with everything now. I've had to limit the amount of time I'm on the site - otherwise there'd be no time for modelling or anything else for that matter!!!

Thanks again Ron and to all my friends on 'Scale-models'.

All the best

After reading Paul's reply to my post I ought to clarify my opening line....

Like Paul, my words were not a criticism of this great forum, it's just me. I honestly can't keep up with all the superb stuff being built on here!

Sorry for 'Bending' your thread a bit Paul.

No worries Ron, bend the thread all you want!

I think we all know what a great site it is and it's ever expanding numbers of members is testimony to this.

BTW, my comments aren't a pop at you either Ron. I know exactly what you meant - it is frustrating not being able to keep up with everything. There are only 24 hours in a day though! lol

Cheers

I thought your tank was outstanding as a stand alone model when you posted some piccies of it but this whole ensemble makes the most superb diorama. I can't really add to what the chaps above have said. I'd just like to add my own congratulations on a truly stunning piece of work,three and a half months well spent!

Cheers

Thanks Steve

The kits were fabulous - the T34 from AFV Club is real quality and the Master Box figures are excellent with some great poses (even before modification). It was good fun doing this dio but I'm glad to bring it to a close.

The next project is probably more up your street - the 1/32 aircraft 'Face-offs' I mentioned a little while ago (already made a sneaky start on the cockpit!).

Thanks again for the comments

All the best

WOW!! paul! worth the wait. it's a fantastic build. such a realistic scene. so many little details. i've spent a good hour looking at the fliks. the photo's there selfs are great too. i love the tank and the burnt out detail is very realistic, almost like a pic of a real burnt out tank. the trench looks so battle torn and grimmey. and i still love the wee guy at the end on his knees, great stuff. a well deserved 5 stars from me. now, i'm away back to look at the fliks

Hi Bobby, Andrew and Scott

Thanks for the kind comments. I actually finished this mid-November! Don't worry though, as I know it's very difficult to keep up with everything on the site and things can be easily missed.

Here's hoping you all had great Xmases (I know I did) and you're looking forward to the New Year!

Cheers

This is the build that made me nervous about posting my T34/85..... This is how it should be done.

[slupanter]

Wow I love the burnt earth around the tank and the detail is fantastic. My I be cheeky and ask your a photo of the guy covering this face please?

[tr1ckey66]

Thanks Rob, Graham, Alexander. I'm just sorry I won't be able to take part in the Normandy build.

Alexander, the guy covering his face is in the 11th picture

Cheers
