Very nice work. Great painting on the models and well photographed.

By the way, there was never a "7th US Tank Corps". In the Ardennes at the northern shoulder was the US 7th Armored Division (commanded by Robert Hasbrouck), committed early in the crisis and made famous in the defense of St. Vith. There was also a VII Corps (commanded by J. Lawton Collins), which contained several divisions, infantry and armored, that was intrumental in holding and later counterattacking the German penetrations.

Your 100% right Gary. I meant the US 7th Armored Div. I translated it wrongly from French to English, sorry.
