The first two shots are before any paint was applied.

Great set-up, and an excellent use of that gun and figures.
Maybe you should add more dust on the base?

The figures and Pak 36 are nicely done. The one thing that lets it down is the tidiness. All of the bricks are intact, none chipped, broken in half or scorched as they would be if the building had either been hit with an explosive munition or burned down. It also looks like someone has swept up recently. I don't mean that disparagingly but it takes the edge off it for me.
One of the things I use is cat litter for debris. Stick it in a plastic tub with some heavily diluted paint in whatever brick colour you choose, let it soak in and then let it dry for a few days. Once dry put in your bricks and give it a really good shake up so the bricks get mixed in and get broken as well so you end up with a mixture of rubble, bricks and dust. Use that as your base and add some more bricks to the top. Only a suggestion so please don't take it the wrong way. This is an example of how it worked for me.
As you can see it's really irregular shapes and sizes as rubble usually is with some whole bricks in the mix. I hadn't got many when I built it otherwise there'd have been more mixed in but it was a couple of buildings I was doing it for.
Nice compact scene. I tend to agree with some of the others that it's a bit too tidy. But hey, they are Germans, so maybe they cleaned up a little before setting up. All kidding aside it is an effective scene with good composition and balance that makes effective use of the gun, figures, and space.
What is your opinion of those J-works brick molds? Easy to use?
Awesome little dio!!!!
Nice work Rob , gotta agree about the debris but the old figs and 37 are an outstanding job .
