11/10 for authentic-looking ruins/wreckage, brilliant how you included all sizes of rubble in the right proportion, eye-catching details...nailed it, extremely well done

That is some inspiring destruction for sure ! Great details. I can almost hear the flies buzzing !
There is something always very sad about seeing a place of worship all beat up.
Great work !

Yea! Bad guy casualty!
Seriously Paul, very believable scene in all regards!
Especially like the subtle-yet-realistically burned out auto.
Watching for more...
