The words 'gorgeous' and 'tank' seem somehow incongruous, but thank you Anne!  :)

Excellent gladiators gnomehome, those Foundry sculpts are still some of the best out there and you've done a cracking job with them.

Excellent coloration and wear on the tank at the proper spots.  To be somewhat redundant in vocabulary...Spot on!

Gnome, you've really stepped up your game! The details on the gladiators are quite good, love the edging.


I wish there wasn't so much unused black space surrounding the tank- it would be nice to see it up closer I think. Looks good even at a distance though.
a mixture of quick parts, sarcastic humour, reserve, and caprice.

It's a 15mm tank right?  :-* :o :-*

I keep coming back to look at this tank.  A closer picture would be nice, but I like the "alone in a sea of black" look.

@Dr Mathias: Trust me, you don't want to get any closer. I picked that focal length for a reason.  :)

@Calimero: Thanks! Yes, it's 15mm from Battlefront (as are the infantry riders). I've always liked the low profile of the German tank destroyers - they strike me as somehow very preditorial and menacing.

@Bobbo: Thanks for the comment. Yes, I like the minimalism of a black background. I reason that the figures are the primary focus so why not amplify them - for good or ill.  ;)

Really nice both but Curt does it for me. Love the sponged white of the tank.

Thank you for the praise.

The weathering on the tank is excellenty done though, and Curt deserves his win, no doubt about it.
I like my games like my orange juice: pulpy with no added sugar or artificial sweeteners
