Panzer Aufsitzen! Following the Photobucket saga, I have been uploading my images to Postimage which is a lot more efficient and has the added advantage that your efforts are not frustrated with advertisements ambushing you. The model is set in Normandy 1944 and is a generic unit rather than a specific one in order to not cause offence. The base was an oven cooking tray, filled with sand, sculpted, dressed etc with a skyline made from wallpaper. My wonderful wife, Der Feldmarschall wanted the tray back so the photo record is all that is left. I wanted to try and capture the ' moment' when the order was given to move off and action was imminent. url=https://postimg.cc/image/xd4bxqhz9/] [/url] url=https://postimg.cc/image/m21o9db45/] [/url] url=https://postimg.cc/image/reqinhz0l/] [/url] url=https://postimg.cc/image/vcdscwltx/] [/url] url=https://postimg.cc/image/mimvvsyv9/] [/url] url=https://postimg.cc/image/4tv546n45/] [/url] Happy modelling.

"I wanted to try and capture the ' moment' when the order was given to move off and action was imminent." Excellent work, I do believe that you've captured the moment

you've certainly caught the moment Chris so many details so much work, looks like you have modified a few figures along the way. if you don't mind me asking whose German infantry & tanks did you use & do you scratch build the buildings yourself.

Yes I remember this one, a bustling scene with a real sense that things are about to happen.
Good looking figures, excellent weathered appearance of the tanks and they sit within the beautiful scenery just perfectly.

Thank you everyone for your kind comments.
With respect to Graham's question the buildings were from Fredicus Rex's alleged ' Plancenoit' range. They are plaster cast, look more French than Belgian and are very fragile. However, when painted they do look quite nice.
The troops are from Hat, Plastic Soldier Company, SHQ, Matchbox and Pegasus.
The Panthers are die cast from an Italian company, repainted by me and numbered with the correct Zug, Kompanie insignia etc for a panzer regiment in 1944.
Thank you again.
Chris

Excellent work! I thought I could almost see the figures moving! :-)
As for presentation, an great idea to begin with the usual black and white photo that we're used to from WW2, then move on to the color.
