The second one but you would need to fill the dead space in the corner

second one, but bring the wreckage to the other side of the road, and have a couple of palm trees where the wreckage was, to help add scale and height.

cheers

Agreed second one would be cool. Not many dioramas done of this type. watch your angles. i know you probably just knocked out some quick scetches for ideas, anything you can do to make the layout 'non-uniform' is good.
I like the idea of trees to give elevation and vertical scale. Trees are good fillers too. You could also look to do a guard rail or low wall maybe? A bit depends on if you're scene is going through a downtown or outside of town.

Thanks guys
I'm leaning towards idea #2 also
It will be outside of town I think and I'll search for things to fill in the open areas

Evan the best advice I can give is look for some pics online, build up a folder of images you like, and then replicate that image. It does not have to be 100% match for a specific picture as you can add items from other pictures within reason.
