Everything looks good but the human body parts. They do not look like that. When a person gets blown up the remains are torn and tatters. Just bloody flesh with rags of clothing drenched in blood. Kind of like bloody chop meat wrapped in clothes. It's not pretty nor artistic really. But the rest looks very good.

Things like boots and any weapons get blown off the body, sometimes with feet and hands attached. Skin can be void of flesh in some parts and parts of the flesh burnt. It depends on the type of explosion or what type of ammo the subject got hit with. The larger caliber the more damage, the more incendiary effect the more burning of the subject and surrounding area.

i agree....without going into the body parts aspect, the rest looks good. however, when you do rubble piles, you want to make sure you make them "less tidy". currently, it looks as if the pile has been placed, and all surrounding areas have been cleaned up, except for the pile. rubble is going to be strewn about with quite a bit of dust everywhere.

lol ok , so here's my diorama idea. It's far from done but you get the idea.
It's called "Where is Fritz? He's never around when we reload"
lol
PS- Fritz is in the rubble pile.

As others have said, pile looks a bit like someone has swept up the contents into the corner. The pile itself looks pretty good, but I'd suggest two additional bits of work:

* Bigger pile, cascading from wall. One thing I've been noticing as I research this kind of damage is just how much of it there is. If you look at bombed out buildings, the piles seem to start at or near the top of the closest wall and cascade down to the ground.

* There's a lot of dirt, but not enough brick. Consult the research photos and you'll notice vastly more bricks than you would expect to see.

Good work! Keep going!

The rubble in iteself looks good .... probably should have more dust and some parts of the walls not broken into small fractions?
When I see this rubble, it looks like a tidy pile that was dug up to get at an underground pipe. Considering it is the whole face of a two storey house that fell here, there should be way more rubble ... coming out through the door as well, roof tiles, timber roof frame, guttering, etc?
Sorry if this sounds critical .... the idea is just to explore how it can be bettered.

I paint my buildings/ruins with cheap DIY colours. They dilute in water, mix easily and dry completely matt!

Rubble is cheap and easy.Just keep thinking 1/35 when your out and about.My brotherinlaw was replacing a ceramic floor and had to cut up the original,nice small pieces,I have a bag of it that will last for years.Small peices of balsa wood and I believe I got it from Shep Paine,is KITTY LITTER.Perfect scale,looks good and absorbs diluted glue.
