Guards armoured 1945

Thanks for looking.
Thought I'd share my latest project.
Depicting the Guards armoured division in early 1945 as part of Operation Veritable.
Figures are Alpine (so good I've bought them twice now) with modified Hornet heads .
The backdrop is Tamiyas venerable M5 with stowage I picked up at a show. The extra bits are to cover up where I cut out the American items.

Very good looking !!
one question is it there any secret for "cutting " the tank ? they are so fragile - I want to do something like that too

Ohh, simply excellent.

Just going to agree 100%

Love the way you consider not just the figures but also complimentary additions

Thanks for sharing

Following ith interest

No secret, I have found its a lot easier to cut an unbuilt model rather than a completed kit (https://www.planetfigure.com/threads/51st-rtr-1945.274029/) and in both cases I followed original weld lines and seams.
I also put props inside this one as I had cut away all the structural integrity.
