I like it. It seems you've spent a lot of time working on it.
How did you make bottles that girl has in her bags?
I just have one remark – I don’t think that guys would rest and prepare to eat while there’s body of dead colleague/enemy on the ground next to them… I think that the body would be at least covered by then.

Nicely done, really like the ground work, great job on the grass and foliage, the figures are also nicely done with a lot of details throughout. The tank looks great with the camouflage foliage but I would like to see more photos of the tank. Also a little description of how you did the foliage would be nice.
The only problem I can see is the mud; it is not the same throughout the entire diorama. For example the area under the tracks, inside the sprockets, etc should have mud applied, the boots of everyone should also have it, and the Germans would be a bit more dirty is they were just crawling in it. Everything else about the weathering is a matter of taste, some will like others not. It’s just that if one thing has wet mud caked on it then it would figure that it should flow through the diorama in the same fashion. Hopefully that is not as confusing as it was when I just re-read it.
Overall great job, Congrats,
Bob

Andrew, this is a great dio. I've been looking at it for the past hour and still finding stuff to look at. The figures are very well done and the positioning of them has been very well thought out. I like how you added the weathering to the young lady and exchanged the rifle for the other items.
The layout is very functional for the scene and lots of different things happing here and your fire fly stowage and camo is very well done. It's going to look awesome with a little more mud around those sprockets.
The grass seems fairly straight at some fronts. Perhaps a couple tiny bits of mud a foot or two back from the edge, or putting a couple small clumps of random grass a bit forward of the existing grass would help.

But hey, what an awesome dio. Very impressive. I like those photo angles as well.

Andrzej the bottles come from a kit with the decals a mate gave me.ref the body i was not sure if the guys bured the dead or whether they were left for the chaps coming up behind who would log the location and take all the details of the dead.?the reason it is uncovered was to show the rapid advancement and how they were ignored by passing troops as they fought and advanced there way forward.

Tony / Bob thanks for your comments and feed back,i am now going to look at putting it right and finishing it off right.

Thanks guys
