Looking for something else I just happened upon this great diorama on a Portugeuse site I frequent.
Some of the small details are great, particularly the water coming from the hose...not sure about the pink banner though...

The first thing that caught my eye was the dried mud tracks on the floor, then I saw the hose and water turning the mud a redish color. Very cool and different.
Tons of details.
Thanks

Yeah, the pink banner does let it down slightly. Looks like something you might expect to see in a "Gay Pride" procession. But other than that it's excellent.
I like enjoy at these "lots-going-on" dios, as long as there's a clear centrepiece - in this case the StuGs. I have seen some dios where the buildier has tried too hard to cram in too much, which has rendered them too chaotic and unfocussed. But a nice balance here - thanks for the link!

Thanks for the link, it truly is a very well done dio with a lot of interesting focal points.
And yes the banner is a bit garish!

Looking at that you can almost hear the banging of tools and other workshop noises going through your head. The guy with the hose is a cracker.
Lots of details through the whole scene to carry you through it.
