I tried the side braziers and I think I´ll keep using them on non-side-door-tanks.

The siege shield is sculpted to look like scales/extra armour. Everybody is using yellow-black stripes so I thought to do something else.
Also most is painted by gf under my supervision/tutorage.

Oh, the shield is magnetized and movable.

It has a nice cartoony quality to it with the extreme contrast and the clean lines. The cannon barrel is really well done.

Why are there darker green squares behind the braziers though?

You know, normally I'd suggest softening the visible transitions to smooth out the NMM, but I rather like them, here. The look is cartoonish (some parts almost look cell-shaded), as others have mentioned, but quite striking. It's an alternate style rarely seen and, even more rarely, seen executed this nicely. Great stuff!

That is absolutely lovely! The grading of the colours is a fantastic effect. Do you have matching infantry?
