Generally good construction, nice water The right front tire is very toed out suggesting a broken suspension. Story line...where's the Russian coming from? The way you've cut off the wooden structur, it seems to end right there, as if it's a dock. If you want it to appear to be a brige, extend it to the edge of the dio's base and don't end it withthe upright supports. The two buckets would not have stayed on the vehicle hanging like that.

Gary -
Like the way the vehicle came out, nice weathering and dust effect, looks like it's been in the field a while. Have to agree with Al's comments, I'd be willing to bet that those two buckets would have fallen off a long time ago. You should be able to correct the tire angle, maybe build up the ground / dirt a little more.
I think it lends a little imagination that the prisoner was caught across the water, and simply brought back over the footbridge to be interrogated, IMHO it looks fine. I do like how you did the wall, looks good with the water there.
Your uniform colors look a little too "green" to me, but I'm no expert on proper colors, etc. Just an observation, but I do like it overall.
Thanks for sharing! Cheers!

thanks for your comments,
I cannot do much about the wheel, I think the green is fine, i think that it is the camera,
i will drop the buckets in front and will change the figures round on the bridge to look like the prisoner is going to be shot off the end
