Fantastic work!  Steve is really talented, and it's great to see something so original.  The vegetation is really well done.

Thanks for sharing this...

 Lovely job
 Stompie's had a good number of paintjobs over the years, the most recent made an appearance on  BBC1's This Week (a political commentary show) this past Thursday.

Wow , great job on the tank and the base . I've seen a few variations of the T-34s paint schemes on Armorama done 1/35 scale . Think I might try the pink one . Hmm , where to find the figures ?

Excellent job.

Really must go and see it, but it is "south of the river" and away from the security blanket of the Underground.
