I've got the StuGIV. The same excat one that I'm building for the Tank Destroyer Campaing (Half Built). For $14... that's a good deal.
The DML Tiger looks good. Are you planning to place it in a Diorama or a Vignette?

I need to find a good base for it. I got some grass, its actually decorative tape got it from Daiso, still don't know what to do with it. I can't place crew inside cos all the hatch are glued shut. The kit comes with camera men instead. Maybe i get some panzer crews.
Here are the new pics, well i haven't painted the right tracks yet, i just completed it.

It looks good.! Lots of improvement and there's more to go 
. Have you tried the Tamiya 1 Initial Production? Is it as good a build as the DML one?

From the 1/6 Singster forum. A fellow 1/6 collector lost interest in making 1/35 so selling it at $14.

Thanks, i tested some of the weathering techniques and also some advice from the forum. I hope to get figures on top of the tank, cos i did a wrong decision to glue shut all hatches.

Alright guys... my current projects... (the StuG IV is in my next post coz of the pictures)
I don't have pictures of my build yet but this is what i've started building on... It's almost completed. I think I'll post the completed sherman for you guys to have a look when it's totally done. Do keep a look out for it.. 
Not a bad kit... worth getting if you're interested in Allied Armor or just want to give it a try.

There's still more to work on... but just to share wit you guys. These are what's on my work bench currently.
Suggestions are welcomed... haha

Ike, still too early to comment but I think it's going to be an ineresting dio. Like your idea of making the Stug climb up the berm. But don't forget abt the suspensions..Some of the road wheels will be more in contact with the ground then thefront ones coz they're sort of mid air. So that means the suspension for the front wheels need to be lower. The tracks should also be saggy in the front. I tink u can find some similar dios of tanks going up berms in the gallery for some inspiration.
