Thanks for the earlier suggestions, so I added another figure in the halftrack pulling out supplies from the front and moving them toward the back (Gasoline). I also dirtied up the halftrack with more mud as well as some of the figures more. Any suggestions for next time welcomed.

Hi Greg

I think the guy in the halftrack is perfect now but maybe a bit more mud on the floor and seats of the halftrack to get the walked in look is still needed. These guys would have had to brace themselves even on the sides with their muddy boots now and again when on the move over rough ground.

Still just a bit more of the odds and sodds of smaller supplies, bags of tatties, rabbits or birds readied ammo for the co-ax MG's. Anything to give the look that this is dropping off basics to keep them going to the next location.

The mud is really bringing the vehicles together now. Love the setting.

All the very best

The half track looks much better! Now, it's pretty much perfect!

A Very Cool Dio, Vehicles are Nicely Done. milvehfan

looks great! Since this scene is very bleak (rightly so), i think that a few more details like small crates and ammo boxes on the ground, ropes, some equipment, maybe even some rolled tissue paper to make blankets with straps around them. You get the idea, just use your imagination.
And much more mud, both on the figures and the floor of the halftrack. Some muddy bootprints on the tank would look nice too, those tankers have muddy boots now remember, so they will have left traces on everything they touch.

Thank you all. Great ideas. I usually get so lazy towards the end of a build, but adding some odds and ends will do a lot for a tank/dio. UFC starting again tonight so will get some bench time later.
