Excellent Petros!
I think the second layout is much, much better than the first one!
It looks logical, dynamical and much less unbalanced.
The buildings are very well done with great eye for detail. The figures fit in very well, too!
keep it up!

Well done Petran, it's really good. I like the way you made two different road surfaces (cobbles) to differentiate those roads.

Yo Petros
Rubbles!!!!....great rubble...very realistic and well placed over the area.
That's going to be great to weather and paint this project...looking forward to it.
Maybe you can put an abandonded german MG post in one off the buildings on top...
Nice figs to..great work so far.

Great work,
I love seeing British armour being modelled like this (rather than everyone standing around drinking tea), and your groundwork skills are excellent.
May I suggest that the firefly is moved slightly so that it isn't dead parallel with the edge of the road, and likewise, I think it would be better animated if the turret was at a different angle again.
Great work, keep it up!

Hi mate,
This dio is going really well, the tank commander is better now lower in the turret. The rubble looks good but maybe have a bit more creeping on to the road as it seems conveniently confind mostly to the pavement. I am not keen on the motorbike it just looks out of place.
Look forward to seeing more.
Cheers

even though I haven't posted my diorama pick yet I have to say Chas has a good point ehre, somehow put the Sherman truly in the events that were happening then, perhaps offset the turret then it will make its seem like something is really going on...cheers!

Hi Petros,
Very nice work indeed, building are looking excellent and thr rubble looks great. Are you going to add a pic or some wall art to the inside of the building walls? The remains of a bit of furniture would be good too.
Excellent stuff.
