Hi Martin,
Very nice concept, truck looks great and I like the general idea and layout.
Some thoughts: where did the gun go ie towed? I'd have been inclined to empty the back of the truck a bit and add the steel channels that the gun could be unloaded down. Keep the ammo and stores but pile them up a bit.
Some rocks and vegitation would be good but it's a good idea you're working on.

I like it! Especially the clever reposing of tamiya's 25 pdr. crew (if i am not mistaken). The positioning of the diorama elements are good.
Not sure if its too late, but personally, I like a little bit height variation for groundwork, just a gentle slope would add a lot of interest.
In any case, I think having sandbags would be nice too. Maybe someone filling the bags near the gun?
