Water:
Looks pretty good. if you're inclined to do it, you may want to weather the bunker and the sand bags a little more, they need just a little more grime (IMHO).
I like the sausages being cooked up. Now when is breakfast around here?

Thanks for the kind words guys.

Porkchop: I will give the whole dio a pastel weathering when done to tie it all together and a little dulcoate on the bags to tone down the sheen. If the weather ever gets nice I will take somes pictures outside using natural light. The flash on the camera washes out way to much.

Water:
I forgot to add in the flash factor, that does wash a lot of stuff out.
You can try shooting in natural light (sunlight thoguh windows or indoor lights) if you turn off the flash on your camera. However you need a tripod or something to set the camera on as it will have a long exposure time (but no flash glare!!!)

I would suggest a little more trash. The trench looks too neat! Old newspapers, posters empty bottles, cigarette butts. Also some weeds inside the trench would go a long way

Oh yeah! Maybe those eating could have some napkins. Perhaps one trooper with bad manners tucking it down his collar.
