THe base looks really nice, like how you did the curb. I'll have to keep that trick in mind. The blood effects are a little......overkill. THey don't look natural. I don't know if it's just that they look to thick or what, but it just doesn't look "right". Other than that it's lookin good.

I agree, gruesome... but the truth. That´s war.
This dio is something different, than the most dioramas I´ve seen!
Only one WW1 dio was comparable with this.

Looks interesting, so far!

greetings...

Just getting in on this one.
Nice overall layout. The building is good. I would get rid of the sandbags and make your own. The Tamiya set are really bad. We all have a set in our stash and we try to use them once. Use some sculpting clay to make good ones.
The blood can be toned down with some oil paint washes (if you want.)
The rubble is very convincing, but neat. I wold scatter a bit more loose stuff around.
I would put a bullet hole or two right in the front of the jeep.

Good job so far, keep us posted.

nice work so far although as mentioned the blood is a little unrealistic if it must be modelled do a little research into blood spatter paterns on the web
concentrating on where they came from which direction shot where they would realisticaly fall how blood behaves out of the body it is a bit too bright a red where pooled as red is oxygenated blood pooled blood is usualy a darker colour as in the rear of the vehicle

blood is very difficult to model correctly done well it can be hugely impressive telling a story ..

not done well it can be better without and just leave it to the viewers interpretation !!
