I would suggest you work on your photography as the images are very dark, I have cleaned this one up. as regards improvements I would say the issue is a lack of life in the scene, there is no story.

For that kinda dough I would be looking for a nameplate as well...

It's better than I thought it would be, not sure if it's worth your asking price but not bad.

One thing that looks very strange and amateurish is the lack of paint on the front fender supports, are they indeed naked brass?

The diorama looks good, but the vehicle finish is not up to award winning standard.

Cheers,

You have been hit with a ton of feedback, I haven't read it all, so if my thoughts are things that you have read already just take in the new stuff I mention...here are my thoughts:

Some Positive:

Nice job on the building and rubble.

Kudo's to you for being brave and putting it up here - asking for and accepting the feedback without taking offense....

Area's of Improvement......In my opinion of course

The photos could stand to be crisper there is some blur.

What's the story? What is going on? Is the Hetzer parked??

Figures....it needs some

Name plate...needs one

Things are bordering on being rather square, I would have placed the wall section at more of an angle. The Hetzer is slightly angled to the base, which is good..

You made the comment about a small profit margin based on the work you have put in. To build a client base and get a name for yourself on the way to commanding a good price will most likely involve in breaking even, perhaps taking a loss, but at this stage of the game to put a price on your time is not wise...be willing to take a loss, at least that way if you get it sold to a happy customer there will be some positive feedback regarding your work (I know not all eBayers are good at leaving feedback) it takes a long time to build a name in a niche market...If your time is something that you aren't willing to take a loss on perhaps be your own best customer and enjoy your work and satisfaction of a job well done...

Bottom line, I do like it....

Good photographs are very important aspect of selling your work. I can't really comment on the model, as I can't see much.

Pick interesting angles, up shots and composition where you don't see edges of the base, dramatic "as if you are there" shots that capture close up details... It's really a "tank with base" if you don't sell immersion level - the latter makes it a diorama. You can have 1-2 shots of base as a whole, but keep it towards the end and crop it tight - nobody wants to see photos with wasted backdrop space.

Work on improving lighting - experiment with photographing outdoors and if you can get indirect light (hazy day, sun down in a couple of hours time).

For actual build - composition is key... You have a lot of space to detail and the same can be achieved on the base 2/3 the size - part of the problem when the price of material ticks up, but portions of your base are still baren. There is no verticality and everything is uniform. Ruin building looks like a placed product that's separate from brick - placement of loose brick looks artificial. Vehicle came to rest in flat position with minimal damage and debris look deliberately placed - do tracks interact with ground debris (if yes - photograph the detail). There would be a lot of other debris than just brick and wood (various cloth, household items etc).

Experiment with what sells and what doesn't... Make smaller items and build your client base / model feedback. Packing your models so they don't break is also seller's responsibility and assurance of repeat patronage.

Good luck! Perseverance is the key.

Thank you for the feedback, the rubble was dropped on the base and glued on where ever it fell ( if it looks "artificial" then that's gravity's fault)and rubble was made from the same bricks as the building so they blend together, moreover, there are other items in the rubble such as boots, spent shells, wood planks and a grenade case. And the tracks are workable ones so they interact fully with the ground. But the photos are bad so all this can't be seen too well.
