Hi guys, I finished my dio of a panzer 2 ausf C of Rommels 7th Panzer Div. crossing a small bridge near Dinant France in 1940. Let me know what you think

I think I commented on the in progress shots. The bridge, landscape and tank look really good. The prisoner and his captor are very effective, too. :-) But, I liked it better without the two guys on the bridge. They imply more action than the guy taking the prisoner suggests. The guy right behind the tank is in an ackward position relative to the tank. If his right knee were down, he'd look more natural. This position tells me the tank is standing still, since there is no room between the tank and the wall for the guy and the angle he's kneeling at would be hard to achive if it were moving. The raised arm on the guy with the pistol looks like it's rotated too far back, like he just tore his shoulder out of the socket. It also looks like he's directing action to the rear, (right of the dio as you look at it) rather than in the direction of the tank.
If the guy kneeling is firing, the tank is not supporting him by aiming in the opposit direction.
I hope you take these comments in the spirit I'm offering them, which I mean to be helpful.

I like it ,very very nice
I don't have critics
Very nice the ground work and also very nice the tank
So waterboy ... congrats
regards

Good looking Ivy and water in particular. The tank is also well done, with nice details like the rusted tow chain on the glacis.

The bridge is also well done, and the railing is a very nice touch. One the other hand, It looks pretty long for such a small ditch... not that this couldn't have happened, but it did catch my eye. Seems like the opening would either be larger, or the bridge would be smaller to match up.

The French prisoner is also a nice peice... is this the Verlinden unit, or did you shape this from other pieces?

Whew Al your tough! Really though I appreciate your constuctive criticism and will use it to improve. The guy behind the tank I might move a few scale feet back so he's not leaning on it. I placed the officer faceing back as if he was exhorting the rest of his unseen men forward.

KFMagee: the figure is a warriors one with a new head and your probably right about the bridge, the walls were made for a wharf setting and I converted it to a bridge. First time i used the realistic water by Woodland Scenics. It was so easy and looks good I think

That is a really nice diorama. I am amazed to see that someone incorperated a prisoner in their diorama. You don't see that much.

Great Diorama.

Dio Update: I moved the one figure away from the tank as Al suggested and the panzer is on the move again. Thanks Al
