Judge 1
Very nicely done! Excellent work with the suspension, and the zimmerit looks very convincing. Photography is excellent. Good composition and depth of field. Would like to have seen a couple more shots at a lower angle. Great work. Wayne
Judge 2
A great build and the scene is very dynamic (although the groundwork can't be judged). The paint finish is also excellent, with nicely blended camouflage colours and good shading around the details. The figure in particular are superb. Excellent work!
Judge 3
A beautiful build, with superbly articulated suspension and nicely battered zimmerit. Lots of added scratch details and possibly some unmentioned aftermarket grills and spare track? The paintjob looks both subtle and well executed. I notice that the camo scheme does not extend to the hull or turret roof, presumably a feature of the vehicle modelled. The weathering is generally well done, although some of the damaged zimmerit effects look slightly unconvincing, especially the centre of the left sponson. The figures are beautifully painted and if anything have too much character, with their slightly strange expressions.
