very cool ... I like ..

 

[Reinhardt]

fantastic!!!! any way of adding icicles to the barrel? also, maybe dirtying up the snow just a tiny bit. but outside of that, awesomeness!!

Looks awesome!!!! my critique would be to detail the pipe work coming out of the ground,
from the painting it looks like a huge American WW2 - modern Howitzer gun...love these works though full of atmosphere...

Thanks for the compliments everyone!

Yeah I am gonna add some oilstains to the snow, I could do icicles but since they are not on the painting I am not sure if I want to add that or not. Thanks for the suggestion though, I will definitely look into it.

Detail it how? I did weather it already but I am stuck on what I need to add to it...

I'll try to find some pics for you, I recognise the gun just don't know the name of it , again awesome work!!

Can't find any images of the gun I'm thinking of but here are some of basic artillery, luckily most of the detail is below the snow line, but just adding a small amount of the shattered carriage would push this diorama over the edge..

I've added some pics of some pieces

Thanks Bob.

And shocktrooper, the cannon is attached to the bothead Blanc is standing on, it is not a mobile artillery gun like the one you got pics of. I am gonna add some more tubes and paint them and break some open and have some wires sticking out if I can get that to look proper though.

ahhh sweet! looking forward to the final piece..looks killer so far!
