I'll see Shonen_Red's working link and raise him a img

Welcome Tank trap and nice 1st dio - one suggestion would be to push the rocks further into the groundwork so they look less "floaty"

Hi Tanktrap,
Great little scene you have got going there mate.I agree with Andy,the rocks could be pushed down a little more as they indeed seem to be "floating".I wouldn't mind seeing some front on shots from the tank + figures,hint,hint .
A good idea would be to post your dio pics and queries under the Diorama section!Any ideas for your next dio?
Cheers,Shay

Thanks for all the replys fellas.
The front on shot may have to wait untill tomorrow as it is to dark at the moment to photograph effectivly.
The rocks and stones.... Cant say i thought they where a problem but now that you guys mention it im gunna have to fix them up.
Thanks for the advice.

Nice layout, I like the angle of the road and the rectangular shape. The way the tree and vegitation elevates it creates nice visual interest.
The use of these figures in these positions is pretty cool too.
The composition is good, sure as pointed out there are a few things you can work on.

Nice 1st diorama.
