Ciao Scott,
I like the setup you have going. The figures go really well with the theme of being low-key and onguard (especially the two light green figures.) They really convey a sense of foreboding. Very dramatic!! Get to painting and post those pictures.
Ciao for now
Rob
P.S. Much better photos this time.

Much better photographs this time Scott. I like the poses of the figures. The only thing that stands out at the moment, that would improve the situation is the sandbags. They are those old italeri or tamiya sandbags and are waaaay too stiff. Some made from milliput or equivelent would be much better. See Roadkill´s article here.
I used it for my stuarts and you get a nice sag, because you can make the sandbags conform to the shape of the vehicle and then sink the tracks into them to show their weight. See below. Good luck with the painting.

Looks like it will be really cool when complete. Though it does appear the cotton twine you haev used for the tow cable will give you some trouble.

I thought the sandbags looked to stiff to so i used boiling hot water to heat them and then i pressed them into shape.
