From what I can see, it looks pretty good. Hard to see much w/the poor pics. Is the rubble and outside groundwork done? It looks like chuncks of white plaster. Its also really big. If the building is made of bricks, the rubble should be piles of bricks too then.

Pretty good so far. Composition is good, the figures look pretty good (photos make it a bit tough).
As you go remember to blend a color scheme to unify a 'look'. Make the rubble fit in with the construction of the building.
Dont forget touch ups and details. The ends of the bricks could use a touch of the same dark brick color. There is a bit of overpaint on the kneeling figures colar.
You've paid attention to a lot of details, wall paper, personal gear, extra rubble, etc.
Keep it up and post some updates.

Nice start to your first diorama. Like how your figures are placed, looks good for the wall and corner. Thanks for sharing your work, keep at it!
