Ruined streetscene HO/1/72 with Pola building

That looks great Rick, it's an excellent idea having a generic base that you can display and photograph different vehicles and figures on; I suppose it's the armor equivalent of a runway base that we use for aircraft. Nice work on the details and debris.

Here you go....tankies at rest somewhere in NW Europe.

Sturmgeschutz IV from Revell and figures from Preiser. I added extras like kit rolls, buckets, bricks and bottles from various different sources. All paints are AK and pigments from Mig. Battle damage was done with a scribe to punch holes and pliers to bend the side skirts then oils for the streaking.

Enjoy...

One excellent dio. Rick. Very impressive scratch work too.

Don't you just luuurve all that rubble? So often I see models of wrecked buildings with just a barrowful of rubble strewn about, so it's great to see a model where rubble and general debris is knee deep - as it should be.

Top marks for sure....

I have some finishing touches to do with this like paint the exposed bricks on the building. But before that I have been experimenting with some brass wire cut to very short lengths to represent spent ammunition cases. They're to big for 7.62mm sized machine gun cases and too small for anti-tank ammunition - what about something like 20mm cannon shells though?

What do you folks think?
