Hi Pompeo, this is a nice building! Well done!

First, I have a small critic.
You should post your pictures directly here. I personnaly don't like it being transfered to another site to view pictures, even if it is your own site.
On your homepage you then say that if someone wants pics of the construction he should ask. I do not think that this is the right method to present your work here.
Sorry for the sunday morning rant, but that's my opinion.

That said, i opened a few of your pictures.

The roof is superbe, well done!
You have some room to improve with the look of the windows.
Did you want to portray the sills as made of wood? The brown color suggest that. I think in this kind of building this should be stone , also wider then your wood. This would give the window a complete different, more proportionned look. A beige, grey color would also be better for the whole building.

Also, your whole building is floating! Very well recognazibale near the stairs!
Add some dust and grass here to covere that. You should also cover the corners completely with the stones, not leave out the lower part. My opinion at least.
Also, next time, a gutter would be a nice addition. Also i see no chimney (perhaps it is on the backside).

I say all that because you have frankly the talent to do all that and you will then have a great building. You only missed the final details

Have a nice sunday

Big dioramas are always fun to see. They have the immediate WOW factor and when done well, are hard to beat. The problem is keeping the standard throughout ... in the scene, the figures, the vehicles, and the structures.
After all the work you have done here, the floating building is too visbile ... but not all is lost. Some rubble, dust or even some weeds/grass can hide this.
Another thing that stands out for me is the rubble. Where did this come from? Is it a neighbouring house? Whys has this flying rubble not done some damage at the side of this house?
Where you caught some bits of the architecture like the corner stones beautifully, the wooden outer frame and missing spouting also are quite noticeable.
Small details and some may say picky details, but its items like this that make a nice dio a great dio. You have so many things that are very well done, the few misses drag down the overall quality.
On the plus side ... the roof, the composition, the vehicles and figures are excellent. It takes a lot of dedication to build a big dio. Well done.

the big project that beautiful very much painting and the arrangement lays an element The excellent I like this works very much.

I agree about the floating. With that said. The rubble looks to me that it was cleared from the street.Like the tarp on the H T. A lot of hours of painting the figures are great.I look forward to seeing your future builds.

While it's a good overall scene, there are a couple of issues that grab my attention. The one that catches my eye most strongly is the fact that the decals on the vehicles and the road sign have pretty much all silvered. That's pretty distracting and easily preventable. The other thing is the building sort of overpowers the scene and draws attention away from activity of the scene. It just seems awfully big without adding too much to the scene. Also, it just seems odd that such a large building would be completely unscathed, not even a broken window, among other damaged buildings. Don't get me wrong, it's an excellent piece of architechtural/structural modelling, it just doesn't quite seem to fit the scene, in my opinion.

thanks friends,

your criticism is more than welcome, the diorama is not my, is from My friend Cassio, his not have account here, and not understand english, so i post and translate the comments to him, thanks a lot for the suggests in the furture we ill use this to do not do the same mistakes.

cheers for all

Pompeo
