looks good. however, the whole front street sticks out in a bad way. the snow is too white. now, if it is made too look like a fresh snowfall, its great. however, the vehicle looks like its been set on top of the snow. no tiremarks, no foot prints, snows too fluffy on the road. i would have to assume the vehicle has been sitting in front of the vehicle after a couple days worth of light snow. but, if that were the case, there would be more snow ON the vehicle. also, it doesnt explain the reason for having someone in the vehicle. to me, someone in the vehicle and all of the onlookers as if they are out to greet someone they havent seen in a while, means to me that they had just arrived there.
i would recommend doing tiremarks behind both the front and back tires as well as a few other treads here and there to get rid of the clean look. also, to add a little bit of color to the snow where there may be dirty snow or snow that may have gotten dirty by muddy water. right now, like i said, it just looks too clean in regards to the snow. everything else is great
edit: i may also suggest adding dirty snow in the appropriate areas on the vehicle that would collect it. IE: in the treads of the tires, wheel wells, undercarriage, etc..
another small thing i noticed was the MG42 seems to be suspended midair only by its bipod. if no one is holding it, it should be leaning against the wall

Yo Maciek,
Nice setting and story....the blue color of the wall has a nice contrast with the snow. That gives your diorama a nice look.
Lots of detail and the interior of the building is well done.
My only thing is that there are no tiremarks in the snow...
What did you use for the snow?
Good job!

In my opinion it's a nice work, congrat
I agrre whit Jesse. To reach perfection you should dirty the snow and add footprints and Tyre marks
Furthermore I think that you should add a little bit of snow also behind the wall, on the rubble. The broken walls and windows couldn't avoid that a bit of snow entered in the house
Anyway, the figures and the model are very well painted and the snow (cleanness aside) and the ruins are very very convincing. You did more than i can do
What did you use for the snow?
Me too, i have a Miniarm Ba 64...what about the kit?
Cheers and congrat again

Hi!
Thanks for your review. Now I will not touch anything on the diorama battles to destroy something but for sure next time will be better. What snow is made of baking soda in the powder fusing with clear varnish

Like all dioramas this one has its good points and its bad. You put a lot of work into it and it looks really nice. Remember the comments and when you do the next one , imagine what the scene would look like in reality, with all the footprints and other things as well. Personally , I have touched up some of my models that have had unrealistic details, so long as it is just minor things that I can fix without ruining it.. Very nice diorama, I like it.............. ...........Al

Maćku, to jest bardzo fajna dioramka. Jedyny problem jaki widzę to jest brak śladów za pojazdem on ale chyba już nie ma mozliwości aby to zmienić.

Hi Maciek. I like the interior wall paper, looks the time period. Gives it that old grandma feeling.Should have some plaster between it and the bricks though. One minor thing, you can correct if you want to, is your street lamp housing is upside down. Aside from the lack of snow prints, you have a real nice piece here that you should be happy with.
