The vehicles & figures came out great & the groundwork is also well done. That Tos looks like a Katyusha on steroids. But for me, that last overhead shot reveals too many straight lines & 90 degree angles.
Even my pick-up is panzer grey.

Very well made yet poignant diorama. I like how you brought all the colors together.

Thanks for all the comments guys. Wall and ruin are offset by about 10 degrees, with the BTR just slightly angled with border. Camera shots tend to slightly distort the actual layout. Did not bother with wheel impressions on the ground as the groundwork is meant to represent a hard-baked, well worn stony surface which would hardly register anything anyway. That was the master plan which is always open to interpretation by the viewer. Thanks for your observations.
