Well, I have to go back to work tomorrow and will be separated from my modeling supplies. Here's my Cover Up entry without the figures I had hoped to include.
There are more images of this diorama in my gallery.

Such a pity you cant finish it. How long will you be gone for?
What i understand is that there is a demolished wall and it is built up inside with sandbags.
If this is the case the bricks left standing are very dark red, and the fallen rubble is very white... and very tidy. Also the sandbags need a good weathering and some different shades to make them more natural.

The beauty of modelling is... you can always resume to finish an incomplete work at any time later on, right....? So we'll just wait to see your finished piece. It looks promising!

It does look a bit clean in this photo. In real life it is well weathered and dusty. I realize that the debris looks tidy, but again, it looks better in real life. I will finish off the dio when I get back home, sometime in march. I will probably expand the amount of debris so that it approaches the edge of the dio. I also have to give it a spray with some "soot".

I have to agree with whats said from all the above guys. Its a promising work, but needs some distying more and also i think is very "linear" i mean lookin from above you see parallel lines, squares and in generall very neat and tidy setup (at least for my likes) so i think when you come back you have to mees it up a lil.
Keep safe and we ll be here
