Hi guys!
Here's the reveal on the OT34/76.
First GB this year, and first finished model this year.
Build threat is to be found here:
http://www.intscalemodeller.com/viewtop ... 50&t=16026
The story behind this diorama is:
September 1943
Somewhere in Russia.
Two German soldiers of the ski troops were going down hill after escaping a failed mission.
They were ambushed by the Russians who killed most of them.
One of the Germans, heavily wounded in his chest by a bullet, died at the water front a day later, where they were hiding.
The other soldier dying of grief for loosing a good friend, buried him under a heap of snow, and put his friend helmet on a empty riffle to give him a proper burial.
3 days of intense cold, frozen limbs, eating grass and drinking snow, a T34/76 showed up at the water front.
Being almost frozen, dying of hunger, tired of hiding and outnumbered, he decided that the best thing for him to do, would be surrender.
After all, it's better to be a POW, then a crisp meat bag in the snow after a blast from the flame thrower.
Enjoy!

Thank you!
Without advertising, I can say I used Krycell powder snow from a company "precision ice and snow" .
Awesome stuff and easy to apply with hairspray. You can look them up at youtube for demos.
