Hello modellers.
This is not a build which will compete with "Requiem", but instead it's an old one that I did at least 5 years ago. The reason why I show it here is that I'm about to throw it away, as I'm cleaning away old and ugly stuff, but my feelings are divided regarding this one
.
I've always liked it (built after inspiration from a StuG III G of M. Bannerman), but I don't now if it's up to todays standard. It's supposed to include three figures, two tankers and one soldier, but I'm hesitating if it's worth completing these figures. If you know what I mean.
The scene is set during the retreat from Kharkov in february 1943. The StuG, belonging to LSSAH, is covering German troops as they retreat along the only road, that they managed to open.
The weather situation is that a blizzard is now raging and the snow drifts from the tanks left side, slowly embedding it.
So, please look at the pictures and give your most honest opinions if I shall keep it and also complete this vignette
.
The model is airbrushed with Tamiya acrylics and also shaded and weathered this way. The old and almost completely worn off white wash is from pastels, that have been painted on. Graphite powder has been used on worn areas. The snow that has assembled on and around the tank is made of plaster.
What do you think ?
Yours sincerely / Mattias Larsson, Sweden
