Nice job! I really like the spent casings coming out of the MG34! How did you do that? It adds a very nice touch to your diorama, as does the "smoke" coming out of the exhaust and barrel.

Great work. It's nice to see an early war diorama done so well. It's also refreshing to see you used the old Tamiya PanzerGrenadiers too. Some might think they are too dated, but I think they still look Great......lots of dynamic poses.
Keep up the good work, Bill.

I do like a lot what you did with those very old models.
Even the Tamiya-figures look good and that says something.
The firing MG is a nice touch too.
The only thing that I do not like all that much is the figure to the far right. He looks strange and out of place in that pose. He should have looked better if he clambered over a piece of wall or someting.

I like it a lot. It's just that guy sitting down, every one is running and feels like they're in the heat of combat but he's just chillin. Feels out of place.

Thanks for looking and I appreciate the comments.

I tried to make the guy look as if he had stumbled and was looking back at the tank before going on again.

It may not have worked.
