I agree with you Oke, black or white would have been better, but I believe this is some kind of presentation box, with a clear cover. Maybe he didn't have choice.
I am with several other members. The yellow base (with its holes!) is unfortunately the eye catcher ! NOT the good winterwash Panzer 4 with bits on the back and added T34 tracks. Weathering is nice done as the figures "in action". The one vegetation behind the tank is bend in his driving direction.
Culturally speaking yellow is most favoured by the Chinese. As for the scene depicted it near froze me solid as i remembered the freezing times in my own adventurous younger lifetime.
The painting is therefore rather cool,and the whole complete picture a wonderland of artistic licence. Well done. BB
