This was my very first diorama build after getting into this hobby. These were my first figures i have ever painted and my first time working with water like materials for dioramas. As a first I like to believe it came out well but i am oen to any comments, concers, and criticism.It is meant to depict a Marine recon team patrolling an agent orange raaged area for any signs of the viet cong.

Jake,

you should spread your grass a bit more regularly.

I think some other things my be of importance in your case.

You are probably very young so in order to keep you motivated, why not start your diorama career at the beginning?

One of the most difficult elements to work with, and do convincingly, is water! So leave that out for a while and concentrate on the basics of diorama making and modeling.

Improve the figure painting, do some very small vignettes with a figure and some vegetation and slowly expand from there.
Learn to present a scene with a nice base.

Read through the different Tips and Tricks sections of all the Internet modeling sites, there is so much to learn.
