This simple scene depicts the episode of the Battle for Brittany, France, in August-September, 1944. I used Tamiya M4 Sherman model kit, which has received many improvements (Milliput welding seams, Aber photoetched parts, Calibre 35 resin hedgerow cutter, Karaya metal cable, Armorscale M3 75 mm barrel and antenna set). The tank is painted in black over olive drab camo, typical for the 709th tank battalion, and carries Co. A markings - Aber dry transfers and pieces from Bison decal sets. The figures are splendid Nemrod resin kits, which I painted back in 2004 as the 2nd Rangers. All paint works done with Vallejo and daler Rowney acrylics and MK35 pigments.

Folliage (les bocages) was probably the most challenging part. I used various dry plants from my mom's dacha, and some flowers and roots I found on bushes in the city. The roadside cross is made of Milliput and plaster, I used online Atlas of crosses of Finistere as a source of information (http://www.croix-finistere.com).

Any comments welcome.
