I think it looks great. Really like the feeling of action. I have one small comment and that is..that tree just doesnt seem to fit. Chop it down! Otherwise Bravo!

Hi Bus,another exellent entry,the posing of the figs is really good,and the story comes across well,but a bit more shading and highlighting on the figs would make it outstanding.

I think you did a good job with the ground work. THe only comment towards possible improvement would be with the mortar itself. In my opinion the base plate should have been more flush with the ground. THe reason is that the recoil of the mortar would have pushed the base plate down into the ground. This is based on personal experience firing mortars. I will grant I'm no expert when it comes to mortars, but, I sure the mortar experts would agree.

Nice one bus ... and another great addition to the cover-up campaign. I love the scene. The action and the figures all look great.
Two really good points were made... the tree and the motar base. Both should be easily fixed as well and would add to anotherwise fine dio. Add some moss or sea-foam to the branch/tree and when dry add some dried herbs. A little spray of green and it would look the part. Some milliput (or whatever you used for the others) sandbags to hold the mortar down and disguise the fact that it floats a bit.

It really looks very nice. The action is lively, the figures are neatly done. One thing that bothers me that the overall finish of the groundwork etc is a bit too clean, too artificial. Maybe the sandbag-trick with the mortar base would be a good idea. The figures are perfect for me.
Overall, you can be proud of this one

Cheers!

Thanks guys! about the mortar: yeah.. I noticed that and IŽll put some sandbags there.About the tree: I think IŽll remove it, instead of making a new one.But this are changes to the future ,because Im working on a new dio ,a big one, and IŽll soon be posting more pics in the forum.Thanks you all for the help and for the great tips!!
