Brian, I didn't combine photos, strange (!), but now I'd like to see the pics too ! I even don't know the book.
Bradley, I've tried to make a simple diorama, not loaded with figures this time... just one man and his tank, in the desert. I'm glad you like it, because this was my very first desert scene. The blending between tank and scene was a challenge.
Claude, I have calmed down the effect on the trunks again, but I think it still looks better than before.
JBA, no problem, I'm a busy man too, I regret I don't have time enough to check all the threads here on Armorama. I'm happy to read that you like the diorama and especially its dusty appearance. You're right about the plot...there's no real plot. It's just a guy and his tank under a couple of Tunesian palm trees. In fact, I wasn't planning a diorama at all in the very beginning ! But I wanted to give an idea of the size of the tank by adding a suitable figure, and...I just loved to make these palm trees. I promise, my next project will have a story line, with more figures. Personally I like more interaction too.
Martyn, I'm glad you like it !
Darryl, the dusty scene was something I really liked to do, it was a challenge for me.
Tom, it was great fun to make the fallen leaves, using all kinds of browns, greys, pale greens...and it makes sense.

Thank you for all your help, advice, words of friendship, support etc...!
