Andy

Very good concept for this scene, incorporating several different major components without making the scene look cluttered -- well done. You have a flair for scene set ups as proven in your Market Garden and AGE campaign dios. Good stuff here. Keep us posted.

I agree, the layout is great, nice visual migration going on.
The drooping on the tarp is a bit (only a bit) unnatural. If you could 'tighten' up the sag in the middle it would look a bit better.
If the 55 gallon drums are full they are heavy, don't forget to push all that gear down into the ground to give it 'weight'.

Don't forget the edge of the base. A bit of 1/4 round molding would really dress it up and make it nice.

Andy,

The dio comes along real nice! You have put the kits in the right way. How many figures are you going to put in this dio? And what kind of stuff you used to make the shelter or tarp?

Well done!

Thanks for the comments guys,
Slodder, I was just planning to paint the edge black.
Sushi,The shelter is made from tissue paper glued around a bent sprue frame.
Shermie,I just put the Jeep there for positioning i will fully build it up.
