Hi Phill!

Totally missed your update :|

Absolutely top shelf with the way this turned out. Those figures are excellent and that mud looks realistically sloppy!
Woody...

Trying hard to do some modeling!

Cracking work Phill. Love all of it. As for a name, how about 'Puss not in boots' as a reference to the little shoeless girl and her pet?

And do send some photos through for the site gallery :D

Phil-

Name for this?

I'd say "Russian Quagmire" or something similar. Something that relates getting stuck in the mud with the feeling Germany must have had when they realized that the campaign in Russia was going to be long, drawn out misery.

Hi Phil,

Awesome work on this one, :mrgreen: :mrgreen: I really like the building and ground work, I have normally just left my models on a simple base or no base at all. This work and the work of others on this site really make me want to try something like this. I guess there is no time like the present, I have some ideas for the two vehicles I am working on for the group build, One is a Panzer III at Kharkov hope I can do something that comes close to this.

As for a name I like Steve's Idea or "Is Spring ever going to Come" Don't know how that would translate in German or Russian might look good on the name plate.

Regards,

Rod
