The figures were taken from the Dragon Winter Panzer Riders kit, the Dragon Cherkassy Pocket 1944 kit and the MiniArt German tank crew set as well as two Hornet Heads courtesy of a fellow member (Dave Swann). The tank was painted with LifeColor paints and the figures with a mixture of Tamiya and ModelMaster acrylkics. The pine branches were made from HO scale trees and cheesecloth thread (the needles). The model depicts a Pz Beob IV tank (artillery observation vehicle) of the 2nd SS Panzer Artillerie Regiment during the ill-fated Operation Fruhlingserwachen in Hungary, March 1945. I used two different camera light settings - the first was a warmer yellow setting while the 2nd was a cooler bluish setting. I'll leave it to you to decide which is more effective. Hope you enjoy!
