here is a vignette i did this week when i discovered i could paint and build figures. of course my dad helped me out a little with the ground work. the building is really bad, but hopefully not too bad.

Nice discovery. I'd like to offer a few pointers to encourage you to keep up the good work in dioramas.
I would offer that you add some more washes to the rubble to help define the shadows. A touch of pastels on the poster will dust it up a bit and make it look a bit more battle worn.

Keep up the modeling - lots of promise.

Nice vingnette there.

The part I don't particularly like is the positioning of the figures. When one guy is using the corner as cover, we can assume he's being cautious for obvious reasons. But then the guy with the Tommy gun is right in the middle of that doorway in plain sight, (given that it appears that the building is ruined) and it doesn't look to me like he's running for cover or anything. If I were you I would move him closer to the guy at the corner.

I hope I wasn't overly critical!

Scott
