Wow !!!! That's really impressive, both for the size and scale but there's a lot of really well thought out and constructed components to this. Wonderful, and I photograph a lot of vehicle groups so I know how hard it is to get larger shots that show how good things look in real life.

Great diorama!! Fantastic details!

The scale and interaction of the different elements is perfect.
Only nickpick would be the stoic calm bird just sitting there with everthing going on around it. It adds nice character though.

Thanks for sharing your great work!

Very nicely done, good action and good composition. I really like the tank wedgie. However, the Spitfire doesn't work for me. First, it looks too big unless you were looking down from the pilot's perspective. A 1/72 or smaller Spitfire placed further back would look better. Also, none of the figures is aware of teh giant airplane directly overhead.
Note the effects of perspective and how much smaller the relatively close aircraft appear in these photos.

I concur with Al's comments. I think the vehicles are very well done. One other thing; the large rounded stone formation in the center, and the "V" shaped rock(?) next to it both look out of place with the rest of the groundwork. Neither looks natural in a desert setting. To get that smooth & rounded, it would more likely have to be in or near a river.

I like the guy hopping out of the truck ... nice!

Have to agree about the "V" shaped rock looking a bit out of place. However, the rounded formation looks fine.

Not really ... just add wind!

Second photo, from the bottom. Nicely done vehicles and figures. I have to agree that the Spitfire should be a mite smaller.
