Just my opinion, but the grass tuffs should be thinned out and cut less symmetrical. Kinda of looks a bit like a shaving brush. That was the main thing that jumped out at me.

The trees look good and realistic... The weathering on the tank itself is pretty good too...

Well I am not a big Dio builder,but what strikes me the most is way it got there.

The bushes would be no more that are behind it ,would be smashed by a 68 -70 ton tank.

Trees even though are big sometimes in scale they should be smaller.

Gives a better view I think.

Also trees grow in a more symmetrical fashion not all to one side unless dying

Tracks should leave some kind of impression in the ground as to earth and grass would not be all nice and clean.

Again it comes back to how it arrived where it is.

Silfor makes some nice foliage material that can be used instead of Lichen which in opinion belongs in a model Railroad layout.,not in something as large as 1/35 scale.

The lower turf pieces look pretty decent and can ,with a little sprinkling of some spices should be good.

This is my 2 cents worth.

Your idea is good but except for the said things which should be an easy fix.

Best is to study other fine dio's on here and other sites.

Frank {Plastic battle}
Henk
Scott
Jim {Gun truck}
Etc all make sweet dio's

Plus welcome aboard

Looks pretty good. On the Abrams itself, a couple corrections. The added rear mud flaps should not be there. The front lights should not have amber on them. The slits are blackout marker lights and should be black, same with the two slits on the lower parts of the rear lights. Lastly, the tracks are on backwards. The chevrons should point down in the front.
