I really like this scene. The notion of an ambush is front & center and the reaction of the soldiers looks realistic. I would suggest a bit more weathering (dust/dirt/mud, etc) on both the bike and their uniforms. And a few more photos if you have 'em. Nice job overall!!

Very nice! I really like the balance and splash of color that you've added with the fenceposts.

I agree. Nice composition and concept. There is definitely a sense of drama and urgency.

I think it's great. The composition works very well. The posts add a welcome touch of colour. Which aspect do you think didn't turn out as well as expected?

not sure why you don't think it didn't work. the undefined edge implies action outside the scene, its a nice tight diorama with good placement, the splash of colour with the posts is good. the only criticism lies with a bit more weathering on the bike and a flat coat on the uniforms to remove the shine

otherwise well done

Colin said it pretty much exactly how I would put it.

Thanks for the comments, the figures are not my best as I always struggle with figure painting, they never turnout like how they paint them on you tube or painting guides.

I will adjust the bike and uniforms to place mud weathering on them

many thanks
