Beautiful work John. :tens:
I have some damage to inflict on my Panzer 3 guards, so I am watching this with great interest. I also love the shot damage - perfect!
As far as the ground work goes , I would just add something small like some battle junk or weapons left over on the battlefield.

Let’s talk base. This is at Kursk, so how do you feel about just the tank, tall grass, and debris from the tank, and upset earth of course, or does it need something more?

Perhaps something to help convey the scale? I have yet to see a slightly wounded abandoned horse walking around a scene. My point, it doesn't have to be a human. Note that the Germans were largely dependent on horses for supply and the Soviets had issued trucks to replace horses for the battle. Most of the1000+ horses treated by the German veterinary unit suffered from exhaustion, only 117 were wounded.

Great work all around Doc. S.!! The display look good so far. I'm sure your planning a figure or such at some point.
:victory:
 
I like Saul's idea amd Mike's got some good sense as well. I'm also thinking along with Mike's idea maybe a shell hole or two in the ground for near misses. Just a crazy thought...
