So, I bought this Tamiya 21/2 ton Truck and liked it so much I had to put it in a setting. I was planning on N Africa (Just finished reading Army at Dawn: Great book), but I want to actualy do another piece using early US Armor, and this truck model is a bit late for that.

Any way, Here;s the results. Also my first time trying to build a ruin from Stratch (much harder than I thought)

Hi, this looks good.
Layout is ok, building looks well done for a first try (a bit small on the pic).
Perhaps next time you can make some frames for the windows and doors also.
I don't know if this is Work in progress, but the most obvious thing missing is rubble and debris from the building.
The green spot on the lower left corner is unidentifiable. What is it?
Perhaps you can ad a small piece of boardwalk here.

Cheers
Claude

For a first project it came out well.
Composition wise its a nice scene, the construction is clean, the 'rules' are meet (angles, interest, weathering).
Just some deteails are missing, window frames, rubble. Can't wait to see the next one.

Thanks, I thought about the window panes, but one of theing I saw with my own eyes in Bosnia and kosovo is those were usually stripped out at some point of desptryed building for reuse. I kjnow this is supposed to be france but I wanted to try to model the brickwork first, as I have a bosnian scenario in the works.
